It's a slow read for me, I'm 16 pages deep into it now. I can relate this back to my ancestors. So far, though I'll stop reading for the night, this is almost enchanting - and a very realistic description of what life was like in the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina at the turn of the 20th Century - a hundred years ago.
