Why...Glad to hear you enjoyed Alias Grace so much!<br /><br />Why are you afraid to read Killers of the Flower Moon? Because of how horrifying the murders were & the gov't's treatment of Indians? All true, unfortunately, but the book is not graphic. I would hope that by reading this sort of history, we could avoid repeating the mistakes of the past...though that doesn't seem the way things are going!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-29851890786287071102018-03-07T14:10:31.004-05:002018-03-07T14:10:31.004-05:00Definitely squeeze it in, Angela - it's so goo...Definitely squeeze it in, Angela - it's so good!!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-90024845339262604562018-03-07T14:06:17.983-05:002018-03-07T14:06:17.983-05:00I hadn't either, until last year!
