This one. Beautifully written. Painfully long. Pointlessly so. Maddeningly so. By the end I was irritated and weary with the author‘s self indulgence. Again acknowledging almost lyrical words and beauty of the story. But lord have mercy…there were times I think I could have skipped a whole chapter and missed nothing in the story line.

Library is open! It‘s a brave new world...plexiglass around the checkout area, staff wearing face shields...but nothing can diminish the spirit of the staff. And I‘ve missed them. ❤️ #LitsyLovesLibraries #LibraryHaul #BookHaul

Book 83 This substantive, vocabulary-rich novel is like an elaborate, nutrient-packed meal when you're starving. The story is told from the perspective of four characters, two women from neighboring Wyoming farms in the late 1800s, as well as their two oldest children. Hawker, a new favorite author, often and expertly weaves the title of Beulah's chapters into the first sentence of each subsequent characters' chapters. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sigh...I should be focusing on the tagged book because it‘s for book group tomorrow night but it‘s a struggle, and the other two are more compelling. I won‘t finish it anyway in time because it‘s a chunk so I may give up on trying and hope to tackle it when I‘m more in the mood.

Pageturner1 i liked the first grave on the right. lots of humor. 4y

Oh I LOVED this book!! A person would have to really appreciate long descriptive passages of nature (I read one review that said this book was as bleak and endless as the prairie it describes 😳)
It's slow, and it's beautiful.

This was a great bit of storytelling and I flew through this book. Even better that it was based on real events from the author‘s family. I highly recommend it.
