   Interpersonal Novels (98) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) Dianekeenoy | Feb 15, 2024 |   ) ReneeGreen | Apr 20, 2023 | This book was ok. It moved very slow and very little seemed to happen with the plot. The characters were well developed and multi dimensional. Overall, 3 out of 5 stars. (  ) JanaRose1 | Apr 10, 2023 | Leah and her father were very poor but very happy. She lived in a cocoon of contentment with her father and their close neighbors. When she became orphaned at the tender age of 14, her life changed drastically when she was sent to a foster home. What Leah endured should never happen to a child. She was emotionally abused and physically damaged, but she endured with a tenacity beyond her years. I would recommend this book to all historical fiction lovers and really anyone who loves great writing. Since I thoroughly enjoyed every single page, this book gets 5 stars from me. Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the ARC. This is my honest review. ( ) MimiLisa | Apr 9, 2023 | Leah lost her mother and lived with her father. They were very close and very poor, but then he was killed in a logging accident. She was sent to live with a family that Leah thought would be her new family, but it was not the case. Leah was treated like a servant and called the helpmate. It got worse as time wore on and then she heard Mrs. Griffin talking to a doctor about eugenics and forced sterilization. THE LAST CAROLINA GIRL is very well written and well researched but heartbreaking to see how Leah was treated when all she wanted was a family of her own. Fans of Southern fiction will devour this book and want to take Leah into their home to keep her from the treatment she received. A beautiful, thoughtful read that requires tissues...It has been compared to WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING and NECESSARY LIES. A book you don’t want to miss. 5/5 This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review. ( ) SilversReviews | Apr 8, 2023 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A searing book club novel for fans of Where the Crawdad's Sing and The Girls in the Stilt House following one girl fighting for her family, her body, and her right to create a future all her own. Some folks will do anything to control the wild spirit of a Carolina girl... For fourteen-year-old Leah Payne, life in her beloved coastal Carolina town is as simple as it is free. Devoted to her lumberjack father and running through the wilds where the forest meets the shore, Leah's country life is as natural as the Loblolly pines that rise to greet the Southern sky. When an accident takes her father's life, Leah is wrenched from her small community and cast into a family of strangers with a terrible secret. Separated from her only home, Leah is kept apart from the family and forced to act as a helpmate for the well-to-do household. When a moment of violence and prejudice thrusts Leah into the center of the state's shameful darkness, she must fight for her own future against a world that doesn't always value the wild spirit of a Carolina girl. Set in 1935 against the very real backdrop of a recently formed state eugenics board, The Last Carolina Girl is a powerful and heart-wrenching story of fierce strength, forgotten history, autonomy, and the places and people we ultimately call home."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
