Gap Creek by Robert Morgan

I have reminisced about this story many times and am debating a rare re-read as I loved the feelings that I experienced the first time that I read it. I would like to experience it again, and see if at this stage in my life I still feel the same. I would recommend this to both women and men alike if they are at all interested in the hard times that faced those who were living in the end of the nineteenth century. The love story is present, but the story of survival and overcoming are what you carry with you at the end.

emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Had to stop reading it. It was quite slow and once I put it down I had no motivation to pick it up again. I’ve tried for the last 4 months, but I can’t do it. Maybe in a while, it will peak my interest and I’ll try it again. This being said, I don’t think this is a bad book, but it is not for me.

I read a lot of bad reviews which influenced me. It is slow moving and alot of bad things happen but I found it readable.

Sort of forgettable, to tell you the truth. I remember that the woman had a hard time and I remember hating the old man they lived with, but other than that, it's all gone.
