A piece of history very well written

As a person born in the early 70's who usually enjoys fantasy and biographies 1929 caught my eye because of the stock market crash, but come to find out this book is so much more than that. It is love and compassion and truly shows the "good old days" weren't always good but yet makes you long for the commradere and basic way of life.

Absolutely a great time stamped read

I love the time period and the way she intertwines the group to be one big family. Through thick and thin this group fights and and faces live just as my grandparents did. Can't wait to begin the next season!

I enjoyed this book about two young couples starting out at the time of the Great Crash, and their struggles. Oddly, the next book in the series goes off in a different direction, which was disappointing to me, but I'll probably continue reading the series at some point.
