Spinner of Yarns
Beneath the Bending Skies by Jane Kirkpatrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Classic Jane Kirkpatrick story with an in-depth look into life as it used to be. Jane brings history alive as few can. Beneath the Bending Skies adds an extra layer. It digs into the relationships – both family and interracial – and how expectations can hinder or help how we relate to each other. Well worth reading.
