The Song of Sourwood Mountain is the newest Kentucky set book by
Ann H Gabhart. I have to say the story reminds me of Christy. In the sense Mira
a teacher leaves her life in Louisville to teach in the mountains of Eastern
Kentucky. Gordon Covington is a preacher who’s convinced Mira is the teacher
the town needs.
What I love about Ann’s apart from the
fact that she always gets Kentucky right is that her settings become another
character in the book. The town of Sourwood the perfect name for a mountain
town and even fictional fits perfectly in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. That
seemed like a world away from Louisville in 1910. Heck even today it still can
feel a world away.
And it was actually the secondary
characters especially Ada June who stole my heart. While the book focuses on
Mira and Gordon’s story. It is the secondary characters who help shape them and
their story. Mira and Gordon wouldn’t be who they are without the people of
Sourwood.
