Book Reviews of Bones Of Plenty (Borealis Books)
Book Review: An attention grabber
Summary: 4 Stars
I love books, fiction or non-fiction, that help you understand another place or other people. That's why I liked Dakota, The Kite Runner and now The Bones of Plenty. The Bones of Plenty is one of those books that makes you feel as if you are on the Dakota prairie in the 1930s. You sense that you are getting a first hand understanding of the dust bowl era rather than a academic knowledge. You learn along with the Custer family the importance of good weather, the market price of wheat, and the honesty of the big men in the Ag business. Whether the author is describing growing up on the plains or a farmer wanting to strangle a banker, she keeps your interest. This is a good story, with likeable characters, and no dull spots. The only reason I did not give it five stars is not the books fault. It is just that this period in American history always leaves me a little depressed.
