White Lilacs by Carolyn Meyer was required reading in seventh grade at my middle school. However, recently, my mom and I were going through my brother’s bookcases trying to figure out what to put up on PaperBackSwap and when I picked up While Lilacs, my brother immediately said to let it go. I couldn’t remember if I liked it or not so I settled down to reread it. It was difficult to read about the insensitivity of the time, but I can totally see why my school decided it was important for us to read it, especially since this story is based on Denton, Texas and Denton is about a forty-five minute drive from where I live. White Lilacs is a story with a view of history that we rarely see. I think was really helped out this difficult topic was that everything was explained thoroughly in the book. The characters were very realistic and I think that the author did a good job of describing people, places, and things. However, getting from Point A to Point B takes a while and I can see why my brother rapidly lost interest. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This book was amazing! I loved it. Books of the past, mostly WWII, are very interesting to me, however this was different. A good different. Carolyn Meyer can really make the reader feel what the citizens of Freedomtown would've felt while being forced out of their town. The way she can describe every little detail is exquisite. This is one book that I would absolutely recommend to all my friends and family. ( )
