Full Moon Rising by Joanne Taylor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I wanted to like this book better than I did. The illustrations are appealing (though quite busy); the text is lyrical and life-affirming. But, for a book written in 2002, it seems remarkably historical. Women do the cooking and preserving; men do the planting and hay baling. The clothes look historical. But the time setting is vague - almost as though we are to get the impression that this is a timeless way of living on farms. It just seems a tad surreal to me.
