Mudbound, Hillary Jordan


A friend lent me this novel though my new Nook color. Oh, what fun is this? Lots, I'll say!
The story, on the other hand, was moving, a little sad, a little disturbing.
This strong woman, forced to move to the country when her husband decides he wants to be a farmer, is alone & lonely. She has to work hard without any support and isolated for civilization during the Mudbound years.
Trouble ensues, mistakes are made and lives are changed. I cheered parts that inevitably changed the lives the most, I hurt for those stuck on the edges, those that could be hurt the most.
