The Practice House by Laura McNeal
2.0
With so many glowing reviews I expected to be swept up in this book, but after the first half I finished it more out of a sense of obligation to find out how the story ends, rather than any real interest.
The first half is engaging, following the hardships faced by a young Scottish woman as she adjusts to life as a schoolteacher in 1930s Kansas. The second half is choppy, changing focus between several members of the family that the schoolteacher boarded with, and the ending is a little more than predictable.
