I have recently started reading The Kitchen House by fellow Canadian, Kathleen Grissom; it is our book club selection for the month of June.
I have not yet finished reading it, but I can tell you this; I have it on my Kobo Arc and the first time I picked it up I read 40% of the book! I can barely wait to finish it, so far I have found it to be a fast-paced, heart stopping, thought-provoking look at life on a tobacco plantation in the 1700’s.

I did read this book a couple of years ago. I read it with my book club, and I remember it invoking a lot of discussion, which is what you hope a book will do. I think we read it shortly after reading The Help, which was our favorite book of the year. Enjoy!
Kelly, I imagine we will also be having a lively discussion regarding this book. We also read The Help and agree with you, one of my favourites as well.
Just finished it last night(bought it on Tuesday)! One of the best novels I have read in quite a while. Totally agree with you. Would love to see a movie version….. or maybe not!
I hear you Pat, I read 40% of the book in my first sitting…it is quite enthralling!
I don’t read a lot of books but my mom does. I’ll have to recommend this one to her.
I have to force myself to put it down Cheryl, it is a fast paced, heart pounding read!
