Jag hade aldrig hört talas om den här boken som jag hittade på Vixxtorias lista över 100 böcker. En bäst-säljare var den tydligen (från 2003)
Här snattar jag helt fräckt en recension av signaturen "Mannheim" (Amazon.Uk)

"This is a simple story, well told. It is about a girl searching for the answers to her past in the American South. While I greatly enjoyed it, I found the civil rights era scenes to be a little unbelievable, other than that I like it. I was immediately drawn to the main character and her inner struggle. The themes or racism and family dysfunction at once reminded me of Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" or the novel "Bark of the Dogwood," though those books are more complicated. If you want a simple story that is paced well, "Secret life of Bees" will work for you. If you're looking for the great American novel, look somewhere else. I would recommend this book to anyone from highschool level upwards. "

Jag tror att det kan vara en bok för min sommarläsning.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" är för övrigt en av mina favoritböcker och filmen är lika bra den (med bl a Gregory Peck i en av huvudrollerna- Atticus).
