laura_m_j's review against another edition
4.0
This will get a movie deal! Rich in the language and culture of Charleston SC in the first half of the 20th century, this well researched historical novel tells the parallel stories of working class Irish American and African American families.

This book was VERY historical, which is just not my thing. It was a fairly interesting topic, but I was mainly bored by the descriptions of making cigars. The two storylines were fine, but never really felt fleshed out. Mostly, this was a book I read.
