Book Reviews of Bleeding Kansas
Book Review: More Literary than Escapist
Summary: 5 Stars
Some people enjoy pure "escapist" fiction; others prefer their fiction more "literary," and both types of readers have expressed very different opinions of this book. Some folks can be either kind of reader, just as the books themselves don't always line up easily as "escapist" or "literary." What I think is going with the reviews is that Ms. Paretsky's V.I. fans rushed to read her new book, and to many, it just felt different and it wasn't just the new characters and setting, and for them, "Bleeding Kansas" suffers in comparison. In another era, an author might have used pen names to prevent just this kind of reaction. I'm sorry that bad reviews may convince some people not to give this a try. I really like BK, but it is more like Steinbeck than Grishom and why not catch a changeup once in awhile?
Summary of Bleeding Kansas
The New York Times bestseller from the author of Fire Sale.
In Kansas, three families have coexisted not-so-peacefully for more than one hundred and fifty years: the Grelliers, the Fremantles, and the Schapens. Into their lives comes Gina Haring, a relative of the Fremantles who is house-sitting the derelict family mansion while she puts her own life in order. Her lifestyle and beliefs will put her at odds with her neighbors?and test the mettle of a community being swept up in events beyond its control.
