This book sat on my Amazon wishlist for at least a year. During a reading dry spell, I finally decided to give it a read and I can't believe I'd waited so long. This book was AMAZING! It's not typically the kind of book I'd read, but I couldn't put it down. Serena was definitely an unforgettable character. This book had me thinking about it weeks after I had finished it.
It is set in the 1930s and takes place mainly in a logging camp run by Serena and her husband. Even the information given about logging and the dangers of such a job were fascinating. I can't say enough about this book. I still can't believe how good it was!
My favorite quote: "Kephart told me...how it pleased him to know I'd die and eventually my coffin would rot,and how then I'd be nourishing the earth instead of destroying it."
