Stars: 3
Review by: BKF
Having moved
from Connecticut to Ohio, the Goodenough family (with ten kids) struggle
to made ends meet. The book begins in 1838, revealing a VERY
dysfunctional family, with the exception a brother and
sister who live very different lives and come together after seventeen
years of being apart. Much emphasis is given to trees, as the brother
works for a 'plant hunter.' I can't remember when I've read another book
that had characters with such complicated
lives/relationships. I found the book engrossing.
