A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn


TITLE:  A Spear of Summer Grass
AUTHOR:  Raybourn, Deanna
GENRE:  Fiction/Romance
DATES READ:  12/31/2013 - 1/19/2014
MY RATING:  4.5/5

I received this book as a birthday present in 2013, and I loved the cover from the beginning.  Once I got into it, I could not put it down; I was constantly looking for excuses to read just another chapter.

I appreciated the overall plot, but it was the setting in Africa that sold it for me.  I could close my eyes after reading a chapter and instantly see, smell, and hear the African savannah.  It was truly a joy.

While I didn't always agree with the protagonist, Delilah, I understood and appreciated her.  All of the characters were so dimensional and well-developed.  I loved Ryder and Dodo, and all of the society high life.  But my heart lies with both Gideon and Tusker.  A perfect beach read!

Will read and write soon!
