A review by eileen_critchley
In West Mills by De'Shawn Charles Winslow
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. Something about the characters really drew me in. I love books that take place over a couple of generations and decades (in this case in North Carolina from the 1940s to 1980s). I really felt like I was THERE.
The timeline jumps around a bit, not in terms of one minute it's 1947, and the next 1962, and then back to '47 again, but more it would one minute be 1947 and then suddenly be 1962.. that's fine but I am one of those people who is constantly adding up ages of characters in her head.. so Knot would be in her 40s now? Anyone else? No, just me? OK.
Anyway, a quick read, characters I enjoyed, friendships, secrets, family, North Carolina.

I did wonder how realistic it was *really* that Valley, as a gay man, would have been accepted as well as he was into the community /Spoiler
