This was a terrible book. Very difficult to follow, disjointed.
Every time I read one of McCorkle's books I am blown away from her gorgeous prose. Through flashbacks and details down to the smallest grain of sand, she brings her characters to life in Tending to Virginia, and not just simply breathing life into these fictional people, but making the reader believe they are out there somewhere truly living.
