Where the Wildflowers Grow Southern Fiction for Women edition by Vera Jane Cook Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. And I was very surprised with it. I was transported to the early 60's in this book where so many things were considered taboo. Marital affairs, teenagers having sex, murder, even lesbianism; those were quite a few twists and surprises in this book.
The book centered around one family a husband and wife with 2 teenage children, a boy and a girl. They all have secrets and they all go basically unpunished except by themselves. The characters were very well developed and it was interesting as the story weaved in and out of their lives and revealing so many secrets by the whole family.
Then there is a deputy who finds out about many of those secrets but they are never revealed by him. I have to say this book read at a good pace. I really didn't like the characters but I was invested in finding out where the story will lead and come together in the end. If you have ever read Peyton Place and enjoyed it, you will find this book enjoyable too.
I have never read this author before but I would read her again. She wrote a really good story.
I received a free copy of this book and want to thank Reading Deals for giving me this opportunity. I want to start by saying I found the storyline quite interesting. However, while reading the first chapter, I was certain I wouldn’t be able to finish it. The author started out by using so many big, flowery words to describe everything, all I thought was - wow! However, after the first chapter, the author seemed to skip all the pretentious & over the top words with only a few exceptions. The storyline was very intriguing and I really enjoyed how twisted the story kept getting. All the players in this story had a very complex and faulted life and I’m not too sure Dalton should have gone into his chosen profession. He was a far too damaged a boy & truly needed lots of therapy in my opinion. Enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. The only reason for my lower score was the opening chapter. It’s really a 3-1/2 Star but that’s not an option.
This book was a pleasant surprise. The characters lives are all wound together intricately by the end. The plot is well thought out, far from ever being the slightest bit boring. I liked that each of the main characters told their own personal stories woven throughout. I like books that give you first person insight into the main characters. I grew up in a small southern town, so it was nice to see homage to my roots. There's almost zero editing errors, which I find refreshing, as that's not always the case anymore. I keep wanting to write my thoughts on the characters, but I don't want to spoil their mysterious and exciting details. Reading this book is like taking yourself on an adventure. It's like you travel back in time to be an unseen guest along the journey, with a unique perspective into each character's life. I also liked that it wasn't predictable. Some things I picked up on in subtle foreshadowing, but I was surprised several times. I'll certainly be reading more by Vera Jane Cook. I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Each story, depending on genre, is a different cup of tea. Some cups are darker than others, steeped to the point of bitterness.
Where the Wildflowers Grow is written as a very dark cup of tea. Pretty much no one in this novel is happy; they start out in bad places, and they get into darker places. Dr. Ryan Cassidy has a dark secret he's keeping from his family, while his wife Rose struggles with the banality of being a housewife. In the meantime their daughter Lily discovers young love, while her younger brother Dalton frets about Lily's boyfriend. Things explode after Rose encounters a strange woman at the local book-club, and Ryan decides to make sure his secret never gets out.
This story is too dark for me, in terms of tea. Each protagonist does terrible things, which causes apathy for the reader, and the culture represented is not a culture I want to know or approve. With that said, the pace is steady, and the narrative does make you keep reading. This novel will make other readers happy.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.
Where The Wildflowers Grow by Vera Jane Cook is a southern drama in the 1960's with many twists and turns that kept me interested! Ryan and Rose Cassidy and their children, Lily and Dalton, each have secrets that intertwine into their lives and cause so much havoc in the family and also the town. One of the most dysfunctional families I have ever read about. The happenings and sexual situations were too much for me for this to be a Christian book! (Spoiler) The lesbian issue and the sexual scenes were too graphic for me, but the storyline was well done otherwise. Even though I was put off by some of the happenings, I will be reading more of Vera Jane Cook's books! I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, and I gave an honest review.
Love her books, a great author. Nice to read something that is not the same old stuff. Can't wait for her next book to come out.
I think that I read this book twice. It was so entertaining that it held my interest a second time. A good family and family-friendly book where generations share the spotlight.
