“Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.” ― Roy T. Bennett
I am very selective with my ARC requests. When I read the description on this one I immediately requested this book. I am a big fan of historical fiction and was very excited about this one.
The story is set in the 1950’s Louisiana and follows the story of Ginny, a young woman working in the kitchen of Greenmount State Penitentiary. This book sucked me in from the very beginning and was difficult to put down.
This book reminded me a lot of The Green Mile more so than The Help. At times Ginny is a bit impulsive which shows just how young she actually is and naïve. The characters are developed just right and the story keeps you guessing.
I really enjoyed this read and recommend it. If you are a fan of The Green Mile, I know you will enjoy this one.
