i have to agree with you. the historical aspect was great... the storyline left a lot to be desired
I also enjoyed the cultural and historical aspects as well. The author Olive Ann Burns being raised in the southern industrial mill era really brought an accuracy that could only be depicted by someone who was part of those historical times. I, being from Georgia, couldn't really relate to her experiences then, since Georgia is more technological now. Yet I still found her southern writing style. Like Grandpa Blakslee and the church's use of the word Yankees to describe northern foreigners was interesting to find out. A great cultural piece indeed.
