For fans of Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’s The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, or readers looking to immerse themselves in the past and enjoy a tale rich in details about an overlooked art. [See Prepub Alert, 2/24/19.]
Though this is an interesting exercise, and Chevalier captures the brutality of the playground, the emotional lives of 12-year-olds don't quite seem up to the weight of Shakespearean tragedy. [See Prepub Alert, 11/27/16.]
With Chevalier's excellent storytelling ability and gift for creating memorable characters, this novel paints a vivid picture of the hard and rough-hewn life of American pioneers on their Westward journey.
This is a recording listeners will not want to end. Highly recommended. ["Chevalier's (The Girl with the Pearl Earring; Remarkable Creatures) writing continues to have that can't-put-it-down quality, and her change in settings from Europe to 19th-century frontier America is a welcome one. Highly recommended," read the starred review of the New York Times best-selling Dutton hc, LJ 12/12.—Ed.]
