Book Reviews of The Rosewood Casket
Book Review: A deep emtional story that everyone should read.
Summary: 5 Stars
When you first pick up this book you may think that it's just another murder mystery. However are you in for a real treat when you get your first taste of the master McCrumb weaving her tales of the Appalachian people and land into a very intense and somewhat haunting tale of history and emotions.
Being myself from western North Carolina I can relate to the setting. But even someone who has never set foot outside the streets of a city can relate to the characters like Dovey Stallard, a woman caught in an entanglement of consequences or Robert Lee in his ever ending quest to make his daddy proud. It also tells how in death everyone may have a secret that needs to be let go and how these secrets can burden our lives while we are living.
My take on this book may be a little different than most but I can guarantee that Sharyn McCrumb has found a fan for life.
