Picked this up at the Little Free Library at Calef's Country Store in Barrington, NH.

Loving this view while I read :)

Finished! This has been compared to To Kill a Mockingbird a lot; while I can see where the similarities come from, I didn't think it was nearly as good (though I did like it!).

Taking to the Bookcrossing meet-up tomorrow.

I claimed this softcover at today's BookCrossing meetup in Porter Square. While the cover-text suggests that it's fascinating in its own right, I admit that I pounced on it partly because I've been listening to a very creepy story, "In the Tall Grass", by Joe Hill and his dad Stephen King. (If any of the characters in the book get lost in their own tall grass I'll find that quite unnerving!)

Later: The novel is about a family whose encounter with the detainees in a WWII internment camp for Japanese-Americans near their Colorado home leads to questions of loyalty, trust, and justice. (I'd been aware of the internment camps in California but hadn't realized there were some in Colorado as well - so many things got left out of the history we were taught in school... I was pleased to find the bonus material in the book, which included the text of the executive order for the internment, and a map showing locations across the country.)

The descriptions of the small town and the countryside reminded me of my youth in Wyoming, though that terrain was more sagebrush-and-mountains than prairie...

I left this book in the Little Free Library on this rainy day; hope someone enjoys it!
