This summary far surpasses any of the AI attempts at providing a cozy yet imformative recap on a beloved book that I must re-read now!
Truly, I thank you! You have done well with this summary.
P.S.
May I recommend reading and reviewing "Demon Copperhead" by Barbra Kingsolver. If you ever get around to it, this book is worth the read.
Thanks for the kind comments! I'll check out the book, I haven't read it before!
Brilliant!! I dread this book some years ago, and it was refreshing to listen to this excellent summary! Thanks a lot
I read!!, no “ dread”…
Thank you!
The summary is inaccurate at many points, but especially the end. That is not the way the book ends. Maybe the film?
This is not the way the mini series ended either.
