EPIC

One of the best Normandy landing scenes of all time. The cast whether it's a cameo.little part or the large roles play a fantastic role. The plot of the story is based on the Lincoln letter that is read in the beginning of the movie that a mother of 5 yes 5 lost 5 children in the Civil War. After that it was decreed that no mother should go through that again. The plot and separate stories in the movie play equal yet significant roles in the movie. There is never nay downtime in my opinion and it is a movie that keeps you interested in every second of it's 2 plus hours greatness.

I could not put this book down. I had to find out what happened next, even though it wasn't that kind of book. Each chapter is about one of Hattie's children(tribe). It tells the story of their mother and their life because of their mother through each individuals point of view. That was very interesting to me. I would have liked for there to have been a Hattie chapter reflecting on each of her children in her older years, but other than that...I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I know that this was the first novel for Ayana Mathis, but if she continues to write like this, she will be added to my favorite authors list for sure!!

After a rather slow start, this definitely picked up! However, I did rather like the slow build up - it really built up the main character, Alice. Alice and her mother, Ella, are pretty much ‘on the run’ from Ella’s mother, and some unseen ‘bad luck’. The bad luck is something that Alice could never imagine. I loved the parts in the Hazel Wood, and I’m intrigued to see how the second book in the series will potentially revisit The Hinterland.
I’m a sucker for grown up fairy tales (because I’m pretty sure all original fairy tales were at med at grown ups, and not children at all!) and this did it for me.
