Book Reviews of Kentucky Blues: A Novel
Book Review: An excellent change of pace, and a great story
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fan of Robinson's war novels, this is a great opportunity to see his story-telling talents turned in another direction. His sharp, witty dialogue, realistic details and bittersweet story elements make this a great novel about 2 families (and their strange neighbors and friends) that feud in a small river town in Kentucky before, during and after the Civil War. His typically unsympathetic views of his own characters, their motivations and actions really enrich this story. I strongly recommend it if you love Derek Robinson's work, or even if you've never heard of him, and just want to read a great novel full of fascinating characters set in a pivotal time in America's history.
