    <body><![CDATA[I'd love to chat with someone about this book --- I was all excited about reading it since I love Southern lit, but was a tad disappointed --- I still give it 4 stars, but was hoping for a 5!  I thought that the whole fire thing was a bit unrealistic and didn't fit Molly's character.  I'm still puzzled with why she did what she did.  And then, I also didn't really like the ending -- the whole premise of Simon Black Molly's decisions in Part 5.  I didn't think that fit her character either.  Anyway, I still recommend it -- especially to my friends who aren't familiar with the South and especially the north carolina area -- and I did like the setting, the time period, and Lee's observations about the Civil War and the sense of homelessness that resulted.  Overall, it was a good read -- I read it in about 4 days -- fast for me!  ]]></body>
