    This is such a beautifully written story based in history. Lisa Wingate does an excellent job telling two stories from the past and present following Hannie in the 1870s and Benny in the 1980s that tie together.

    I absolutely love the way Truman Capote writes. This novel really shows his heart soul. It’s a fictionalization memoir of his childhood.

    Considered to be one of the first true crime novels in the United States, Truman Capote cover the brutal murders of the Clutter family. It’s definitely adds dramatics and takes a lot of liberties that not every true crime fan will enjoy. It was a very different vibe to the stories that Capote usually wrote about. It was a very heavy and sad story but an interesting read.

    I was inspired to read the book after watching the Oz Vlog on tik tok. The book is definitely a different vibe from the movie and what you think of when you for the story of the wizard of oz. Most adaptations take from the 1939 movie which changes parts of the book to better fit the screen. It’s definitely worth a read to get a deeper look into Dorthy and her friends adventures in oz. The book was designed to be a modern fairytale that has lessons and tropes still relevant today.
