This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

William Kent Krueger is a great author. His books are filled with wonderful imagery and the characters are rich and three dimentional. This book is no exception. The story is sad and the reader has a feeling of melancholy all through the book. This is not surprising as the whole world was in the midst of a great depression and almost everyone was hungry and grimy.
I am glad I read it and stuck it out to the end, even though I had retty much guessed the ending. Getting a glimpse of the depression was the saving grace of the story for me.
