Sandra Dallas writes like a painter. Her characters are well drawn, she uses words as deftly as a master artist, shading with subtle use of language. As I was reading, I could see the sepia tones of the dusty roads, the smudged mustiness of the faded glory of decaying mansions. Nora is believable and likable, her search for the answers to her past propelling you deeper into the twisted tangle of her ancestor's secret history. Nora's secrets, her family's myth's, the town's role in her quest will have you rushing through the chapters for the answers. Based on a real incident, this was a compelling book, with a whimsical look at the south, watching our country bridge it's antiquated ideas with the winds of change arriving as the 20th century moved into modernity.
Happy Reading!
