Fascinating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This was a fascinating look at the Shaker community and the early Mormon church, as well as the tribulations and hardships of life in the early 1820's. The plot moves very quickly. Naomi is not a particularly endearing character. It is difficult to become attached to a character who is not attached to anyone around her. Throughout the novel, Naomi leaves, leaves, and leaves again. This is not a particularly realistic portrayal of a single woman during the early 1800's. Still, this was a worthwhile read.
Pretty Good
