Carolina Built

I loved learning about Josephine Leary and a little bit about Eastern North Carolina. The historical parts were very well done. Sometimes it was just a little detail that really illuminated the historical context. The dialogue was stilted sometimes, but it got better as it went along. I like that there were no big bad things. There were some small difficulties and rude people, but it didn't stop her. She kept moving forward. Her relationship with her husband was annoying, but if this is based on her journals and letters, then we have to accept what it was. I think it ended in a good spot. The ending seemed like a fitting ending.
It is an interesting spot between historical fiction and biography.
