What didn't work as well for me was Jennie's narration. I'm not entirely certain why, just that no matter how interested I became in the story Jennie would draw me out of it almost immediately. She had a very formal sound to her voice, not stiff exactly, but as if sharing the story wasn't the first thing she wanted to do.
I know very little about Civil War America, as far as the culture and what happened outside of the battles is concerned. It was fascinating to read about Jennie's family and in hindsight what she couldn't see about her Aunt and Uncle, or even her cousins, she observes and discounts. She observed her cousin Quinn's odd behavior from the first, but chose to discount it. She was so worried about not being tossed out (now that her fiancee was gone) she didn't want to see I think.
The ending is darkly hilarious--secrets are laid out and Jennie finally gets back her own. I was kind of disappointed, only because the epilogue made her exit feel less climatic. I think this will appeal to fans of history (this is chocked full of historical tidbits) or of suspense/mysteries honestly. It has a gothic appeal to it in fact.… (lisätietoja)
