This book has been on my to-read list for more than a year. It sounds like a story I would absolutely adore. It has a gorgeous setting, it takes places in the past and it's a bit of a tear-jerker from what I've heard.
When I started, I was ready for a book like the one Kristin Hannah writes. It's not though. It's a bit more lyrical, and the environment is described more than the people and emotions. The story isn't very fleshed out, but it tells so much.
The book is about a little girl, who's left behind by her whole family in the marshes of North Carolina. Her neighbours look down at her, but she managed to survive on her own. I haven't seen the marches, but I feel like I have after reading this book.
The main element of the story, the main subject matter if you will, is the murder of a young man.
I got sucked into this book and I couldn't stop flipping the pages, highly recommended!
