I'm married to a scavenger of sorts and he often totes home rescued boxes of books that I paw through with shiny, hungry eyes. I pull out the odd and interesting and add them to my teetering stack.
I really enjoyed this tale of a young, fierce girl who loves books and wants to find her way out of farm life and getting married at 17. It's actually a historical novel, hiding as murder mystery and I had a great time with it.
