The Personal History of Rachel DuPree by Ann Weisgarber
"An essential American story etched in vividly remarkable prose, of a unique period in our history, The Personal History of Rachel DuPree beats with the timeless heart of human endeavors, yet drops us seamlessly into particular spaces and times, a grand achievement of the first rate. Some will call this a novel of race, some will see the futility of the dustbowl settlement, some will believe it to be a tale of a strong woman. It's all of these and so much more, most clearly a tale that will hold and resonate on many levels." -Jeffrey Lent, author of In the Fall

I just finished this last night and it was a good read - it left me guessing about the future of the characters. I wonder if she'll do another book as a continuation of the story.

Have you read any good books lately that you would recommend?
