The Book Woman, Cussy Mary or Bluet. Whatever name you call her, she is an exceptional character. I adored this book about the early 1930's in Troublesome, Kentucky. I have knowledge on the WPA and the women who rode miles every day to deliver books, also known as the Pack Horse Library Project.
This is much more than a history story; this is a story of a true hero of a woman who felt pain, hatred, heartache and also love. Don’t judge a book by its cover and don’t judge woman by her color. The blue woman and blue people were new to me. This novel was such an educational piece as well. I felt so much for Bluet. I wanted to reach in and slap a few characters! This is a must read for those who love historical fiction.
