I found this book quite difficult to get into, although I did stick with it past 50 pages, which is my usual cut-off if a book isn't grabbing me. I was glad I did, because while I found the story slow going for the first 2/3 of the book, the last 1/3 was worth the wait. McCrumb has a way of bringing the hills of Appalachia to life. I'm not sure I'll read any more of her books, at least not soon, but in the end, an okay read overall.
