Great book. The book is slow in the beggining and you need a little patience trying to figure the point of view when it switches between flashbacks and present day. Otherwise the story picks up after the villian is introduce. Another great book that showcases life on the prairie as seen through the recollections of a grandmother in her senior years and the probing question of her grandchildren. (
