"The Mason House of Degener, Texas, was like the corpse of an old monster, too strange and feared for most to approach it, much less attempt to bury it."

ReplyDeleteA very powerful opening.
DeleteA VERY good book....
DeleteI've eyed it for years but don't think I could actually read it.
DeleteIt's not too bad that way. A bit harsh in places (plus a smattering of N words) but no doubt VERY toned down from reality. Around half or more of the book covers the court cases brought to decide the question of them being property or people. It was very well done.
DeleteGood to know. I'll keep it in mind...but there's so much ahead of it, lol
DeleteI'm currently reading Shielding the Baby by Laura Scott. The first line is: "Shots fired." Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat definitely gets your attention!
