Great Book Review

Finished a great book. The March by E.L. Doctorow. About Sherman's march to the sea during the Civil War. Outstanding descriptions. Exceptionally vivid characters. Masterful multiple viewpoint storytelling. Vocabulary expanding word choices. Reading this book was like going to war but being safe and warm and well rested. A real gift from a talented caring author to a reader hungry for delicious prose that satisfies.

May I recommend
Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden.

It is his first novel and beyond exquisite in style. Grim. Worth the emotional pain it causes.
