A review by liziev
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
3.0
I wish GR let me do half stars - 3.5.
I often struggle with books that either have two timelines, or told from two characters, and this book is a good example of why.
Why not tell the entire story from Lavinia’s POV? Belle was almost an after thought. Pages and pages of Lavinia, barely one page of Belle, stating the obvious. Why not tell the story fully from one of their POV? Anyway, this is a pet peeve of mine, and would have given one extra star had this been executed better.
Well worth the read though, heartbreaking at every turn.
