### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Read this book twice
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2023*

I did not remember reading this book previously and ended up reading it again. I realized from my Goodreads account that I had read it 7 years ago but nothing about it was familiar. A mystery of sorts as Cassandra moves to the South where she has inherited a house where her deceased mother had grown up. The chapters alternate with her grandmother Clyde’s story. As Cassie meets her relatives and gets to know them the mystery grows. The mystery comes to a head as Cassie and Clyde confront one another.

    Every family has its secrets...
  

*by #***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2022*

When Cassandra Simon learns that her maternal grandfather, a man whom she has never met, has left her the family farmhouse in Tennessee she first thinks to sell it but later decides that her life could use a change. She could meet family she’s never know (her mother died when she was 3) and work on her art sculptures.Every family has its secrets and Cassandra quickly learns that hers have more than their share when she realizes that neither Grandma Clyde or her other relatives want her around. They are a closed-off family group full of secrets and mysteries. Cassie makes it her mission to uncover some of the secrets surrounding herr mother’s death. Told from alternating points of view Cassie and Grandma each fight her own battle to learn about the tragic death or to keep the facts hidden.A psychological thriller exploring a dangerous past and an untold truth. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Well, every writer has to start somewhere....
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2015*

It is no secret that I, like so many others, loved Christina Baker Kline's Orphan Train, which was her most recent novel.  Sweet Water was her first novel, and it shows how much she's grown as a writer.That's a polite way of saying this book is downright painful.First off, a warning...I will probably tiptoe into spoiler territory.  I try to avoid that when I write reviews, but I'm kind of in the "why bother" mode in this one.  So, if you still want to read this book at this point, you may want to tune out now.I will say that Kline's writing talent is evident here.  Her prose is readable and mature, but not heavy-handed.  The problem with this book is not in the writing, it is in the construction.  The plot is barely there and ill-defined.  Is it about Cassie trying to "find what she's looking for" with her mother's family?  Is it about Cassie's Grandmother's secret? Is it about Cassie's quest to find out what happened to her mother?  The answer to all those is this: um, kinda, sorta?  I don't think Kline ever had a clear idea of what this book was about and the reader certainly doesn't as they make their way through the story.Then there are the stereotypes of southerners.  Let's see...we have the catty frenemies, the holier than thou preacher's wife, the wild child (there are a couple of those), the old drunk, and the town gossip.  All of these characters have shown up in any number of superficial Southern novels, movies, or TV shows.  And, if that wasn't enough, there is probably one of the most offensive (and, really, inaccurate) Southern stereotypes out there.  I'll give you a second....yep.  We have a fair dose of explicit cousin on cousin action.  Now, Kline does try to diffuse the situation by stating that they aren't "real cousins" because one of them is adopted.  But, then she includes a few post-coital observations about how much the two look alike--very pointed observations (which are both yucky and annoying because she never closes that loop...).Yes, I know...you need a shower now.As I said, the one positive aspect was Kline's language.  It was the one thing--well, that and the fact that I knew what she could do in Orphan Train that kept me going.  However, I'm not going to let this book turn me off Kline's writing.  As I said, this was her first novel and, when you compare it to her latest, you can see how much she has grown.  If anything, it makes me more likely to read her next book.  But, save yourself from the experience of this book and just take my word on it, okay?
