When the Tree is Dry by Alice S. Hill

4/17/2017

For those of you who know me, you'll know that I'm a history buff.  I'm always happy to read nonfiction books, and I absolutely love very detailed fictional stories set during pivotal moments in time.  I especially enjoy reading history from around the world.

Alice S Hill's debut novel, When the Tree is Dry is set in fairly recent times, but it is filled with life and death struggles for basic human and political rights in Zimbabwe.  I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a fast-paced story filled with sympathetic characters, mostly female protagonists, who must do what they think is right - for themselves, their families, and their country.

A full review of the book has been published at Bewildering Stories - you can check it out here.  Happy reading!

    I read a lot - depending on my writing schedule, I can usually read about a book a day.  Some of the books are fantastic and I would love to recommend to everyone - some, not so much.  Either way, I thought I would share a few thoughts on what I'm reading at the moment.
