Book Reviews of Alice's Tulips
Book Review: A Pleasant Read
Summary: 4 Stars
Sandra Dallas' story of a young bride during the civil war is quite interesting. Alice tells of her trials and triumphs through letters to her sister Lizzie back home. Some parts of the story are only hinted at, but some are described in great detail. Alice struggles through loneliness, poverty, weather hardships, and even being treated as an outcast by her peers. The best part of Alice's story is how she relates to other characters in the book, who also become endearing to the reader.Lizzie's life is also revealed to us as a secondary story by way of Alice's comments and advice in reply to her letters (which are unseen by the reader). I very much enjoyed Dallas' way of weaving quilting metaphors into the story. It's caused me to want to pick up the hobby again!
If you enjoy this book, you may want to read another of Dallas' books "The Diary of Mattie Spenser", as well as "These Is My Words" by Nancy Turner.
