![]() ( )Īt times, when I'm reading one of Beth Kephart's novels, I find myself distracted by the gorgeous phrasing and richly described settings and characters. This was my first Kephart book, but it won’t be my last. This is a quick read at only 192 pages, but it is packed with everything it needs to keep you glued to the pages. One of the things that happened between Katherine and a girl she just met would never happen today, and I loved reading how life was back then, when those things could, and did, happen. All the characters had different relationships with each other, which I loved. I loved all the descriptions of the everyday items that are so different than what we have now. I felt sad when they did, and happy when they did. I could see the way Philadelphia looked during that time period, and everything became real to me. The writing made me feel like I was there with Katherine and Anna. The book started out interesting, and just kept getting better. Finally I said go for it, and am so glad I did. I really thought it sounded good, but it was a historical fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() I went back and forth trying to decide whether to give it a try or not. Wow! Even though I’m not a fan of historical fiction, the cover (isn’t it gorgeous?) and synopsis of this book grabbed my attention. ![]()
