Book Reviews of The Dollmaker
Book Review: An extraordinary look at Appalacian and women's issues
Summary: 5 Stars
The central character in The Dollmaker is Gertie - a strong Appalacian woman during WWII. Forced by economic conditions and pressured by her husband and family, she leaves the isolation of the rural mountains for Urban life in Detroit. This is a compelling page turner - it's not a fairy tale and it has a hard edge. Currently on assignment in Appalacia, I have had an opportunity to view Gertie's world first hand. Jane Fonda's TV Movie is also recommended - it is faithful to the book and Ms. Fonda's performance won an Emmy. I read this book over 10 yrs ago and I never forgot it.
