Really good book, but I enjoyed the first one more.

This is the book referenced in Chernow’s biography, which Mark Twain had sold door to door after Grant’s death from throat cancer.Fascinating window into our pre and post civil war past and this underadmired President.

I liked when Gerald said "That is a big guy".

after reading the ACOTAR series i expected to be immediately obsessed with this book but it didn't immediately draw me in the way i thought it would. now that i've read this book in full i am definitely eager to read the next one! my jaw is on the floor at the ending and i have 0 predictions for what is going to happen next

I liked all the mystery in it.

It was great

Set in a backwater part of Georgia in 1822, this novel contrasts the healing capabilities of a medical doctor and three sisters who are self-taught healers. The book was very enjoyable, at times funny and sad. Of course, the sisters methods of healing with herbs and poultices were more popular and effective than the doctor's amputations and blood-letting. It was a good read.

Probably my favorite…I love the reoccurring characters and their new designs!

What a beautiful book! It's hard to believe it's a debut novel - the octopus is so tenderly rendered that my heart broke for him. The other characters in the book are richly rendered and endearing. Highly recommend!

Reading all about the growth changes that my 11 year old is starting to go through. It starts with explaining that she came to the planet as a capable, confident girl and no matter what they look like she will grow into a fabulous girl. A great book to read for the onset of puberty
