Sun Going Down: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jack Todd was able to turn his family memoirs into a beautifully written novel that encompasses history from the California Gold Rush right through the Great Depression. He introduces some wonderful characters - beginning with Ebenezer Paint piloting a steamboat down the Mississippi River. The descriptions of life in the west are incredibly vivid. The hardships, struggles, and the joys of the Paint family make a great read. There were some odd twists, and some sad stories, but if you keep in mind that Todd was basing his book on a family memoir, you know that there are usually some unexpected twists and turns in most family histories. Knowing that there was probably embellished truth in each story made the book even more interesting for me.
