I feel the half that I struggled with probably the most was that the e-book makes you sort of need to root for infidelity — or a minimum of for a wedding to interrupt up in order that the primary character can marry one other man. And that simply felt kind of morally unsuitable, though I heartily agreed with the primary character leaving the primary husband due the abuse attributable to her father-in-law.
However the e-book drew you in, it was attention-grabbing to study extra concerning the Packhorse Librarian Venture, and get a peek into how ladies’s proper have modified a lot over time. That stated, if you’re searching for a e-book to learn on The Packhorse Librarian Venture, I’d suggest The E-book Girl of Troublesome Creek over this one.

Kierstyn and I learn this e-book collectively and loved it a lot. We’d learn it final yr, however she wasn’t actually sufficiently old to totally take pleasure in it. This yr, she actually acquired into it and requested me so many questions on it.
My solely critique of the e-book was that I feel it ends kind of abruptly and I want it had a greater conclusion. But it surely’s a enjoyable learn for teenagers who’re newer to chapter books!
