Books by Blei: The River Between Us

The River Between Us
by Richard Peck

Recommended by: Lily P.
Tilly Pruitt and her family live in a small town down the Mississippi River. One odd evening, two ladies came off of a steamboat, Delphine Duval, the "fancy one", and Calinda, the "dark-skinned" one. They were seeking a place to stay and soon ended up in a room in the Pruitt family's home and changed their lives forever. This book does a great job describing the way of life in the 1860's. It might be heavy on the romance, but it also bring the horrors of war to life.

This book was: Information and exciting!

I would recommend this book to: Anyone who likes war books

I rate this book:
