   Book 54: Marie Blythe. I've liked Mosher's other books and this one I had mixed feelings about. I loved the natural world descriptions of a place not far from where I live, I even liked some of the "just so stories" about how things (maybe) used to work in Vermont. I only sort of believed in the female character he created and I definitely didn't appreciate some of the casual racism in the book (anti-Roma in particular) which was just totally unnecessary and weird that it was included.
