This book had me hooked as
soon as I heard what it was about, librarians pack horse librarians at that,
and the people of Eastern Kentucky. A group of people hit hard by the Great
Depression. Cussy Carter one of the pack horse librarians are different
that the rest of the people in her community, she's one of the blue people of
Kentucky. But to the people on her route she is the one bright spot in
their week, the book woman.
I love just about any
historical fiction novel set in Kentucky, I love reading about my home state in
the pages of a book. As well as learning about its history in any
form. The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson is
full of rich detail both of setting and historical detail. The characters
are easy to relate to. Though some you just know from the beginning that you
are going to hate. Though other characters you’re going to laugh
with, cry with and rejoice with. Have tissues handy.
I would recommend this book
to anyone who loves historical fiction, Kentucky settings, and libraries and
librarians. There is some language in this book. Though most
seems to come from one character as well as some scenes of abuse and
hate.
I received a copy of this
book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a
positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone
