Why read it?

2 authors picked To Whisper Her Name as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved the vivid storytelling and the setting of post-war South. Anything that has history and romance is enjoyable to me.

This book is set just after the war and deals with the aftermath of a devastated land. Rich in detail with characters that tug at the heartstrings, it is a story of complex loyalties and dealing with betrayal. A beautiful and powerful story of tender hearts left wounded by a very difficult time. I listened to the audio version of this story and found it to be one I wanted to stop everything I was doing to savor.
