Phew- I finally finished this book. This was such a slow read for me. I usually finish a book in a few days. This one took me 2 weeks. I just wasn’t drawn back to the story. I found myself finding something else to do like watching Netflix instead of going back to the book. Not sure why. I normally like historical fiction set in this time period, and Hiram wasn’t a bad character, but something just didn’t click with me and this book. It might have been that there was a lot of contemplation in this book and not enough action and dialogue to move it along at a better pace. I’m sure a lot of Oprah book club fans will love it, but it didn’t live up to the hype for me.
