A Bit Bookish

Varina by Charles Frazier

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is not a book for lovers of plot, but those who love Faulkner like sentences, which are Frazier's specialty, will be held in thrall. Its detailed observations of one woman's tragic life are expansive in scope and its examination of the Civil War and its aftermath made me interested enough to do a lot of supplementary reading along the way. It certainly took me on a thoughtful journey with its beautiful writing.
