The Rope Walk by Carrie Brown


Recently the Valley Book Club discussed The Rope Walk by Carrie Brown. I really enjoyed this coming-of-age novel because of how it touches on many different issues and really lets the reader explore them from a very realistic, child point of view.

Most of us in the club really liked the book and were extremely angry at Alice's father for his actions and for his lack of actions toward Alice, his only daughter. One member was extremely disappointed, though, and thought the characters were all very stereotypical and shallow as characters go.  Read the book and tell us what you think! I'll share your comments with the club.

I'd love for you to post your reviews of this book, which is 2009's All Iowa Reads title.
