Comments on: The Ash Family by Molly Dektar | Review https://novelvisits.com/the-ash-family-by-molly-dektar-review/ Sun, 14 Apr 2019 12:46:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: Erin @ Cracker Crumb Life https://novelvisits.com/the-ash-family-by-molly-dektar-review/#comment-20178 Sun, 14 Apr 2019 12:46:06 +0000 https://novelvisits.com/?p=7301#comment-20178 I was really drawn to this book for the communal living, enviromentalist aspects as well, and like you struggled with parts of this book. I had a hard time with Berie and her mother’s relationship. I was never quite certain what that the problem was, why Berie made some of the decisions she made, and how they circled back to her mom. I agree, there was not much character development when I would have loved to know more about some characters. And there was not a character I actually really liked! Lol. Berie did drive me crazy as well, with her willful ignorance. However, I ended up really loving this book anyway!

You always probe different aspects than I do, but we end up at the same place.

I agree that Berie up to the point where she is made to feel she can’t leave (don’t want to be specific for spoilers, but you know what I mean). After that, she feels she has no choice. But getting to that point? A bit incredible.

I loved the ‘natural’ aspects of the story- even if there is no way I would ever live without indoor plumbing!

I think that’s a good call for you.
