Will I love A Low Diving Bird?

This is a beautifully written and heartfelt historical fiction. The US Civil War officially ended a year ago, but on both sides, the wounds of war are deep and lasting, and this is true in Missouri, in the home of Hester Cain.

I like dark reads that make me feel deeply, and there’s a tangible sense of melancholy pervading this story. The war’s psychological damage is profound. The main characters are sympathetic, as are the story’s children though their life’s wounds are slow to heal. Even some of the men who commit despicable acts earned some sympathy.

The terrible misery… show more.
