I really wanted to like this book. But, I hate to say it, I think Ill watch the movie and see if it's better. Sigh. The info and stories could have been great, but it was presented in a very disorganized time line, jumping back and forth between years, events, AND people. I couldn't keep anything straight. Which is a shame, because these womens' stories really, really, need to be recognized and known.

Good story, but didn't like the style, it was to descriptive and “flowery”. It got to a point where I was thinking, “Just tell me what happens next, I can picture the scene...move on.”

Would not have been able to get through it if I didn't use the audio format. Can see why it was award winning, but not my style at all.

My dad was born just before WWII, with clubbed feet, his were fixed; but my Grandpop told me about another kid in their neighborhood with a clubbed foot who's parents refused to have his fixed. It broke Gpop's heart the way they treated that kid, knowing there was a hospital nearby that would fix it for free...so this story hit me hard.

Really enjoyed this one.

The photography is stunning. 

Loan from library ran out and when I went to renew they no longer offered it!? 

Sooooo slow. Just didn't grab me, didn't feel it moving anywhere. Just not my style. a maybe another time I'd enjoy it more? Who knows.
