Description Supposing Books Tallgrass

An essential American novel from Sandra Dallas, an unparalleled writer of our history, and our deepest emotions...

During World War II, a family finds life turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the interlopers, the strangers.

This is Tallgrass as Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned thirteen and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair. But now the winds of change are coming and, with them, a shift in her perspective. And Rennie will discover secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things.

Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest—and best—parts of the human heart.

Commentary Appertaining To Books Tallgrass

I really enjoyed this book. There's some historical senario in the background of this book about a Japanese Internment Camp, I found this interesting. The book is about a murder that takes place with some additional surprises. I love the main character who is a young teen growing up during WWII.

Sandra Dallas is a talented story teller and this is an exceptional book with well-drawn characters and a compelling plot. I could hardly put it down toward the end. I like the following review by Susan Wyatt,"Books in the mystery genre are usually based on the assumption that order can be restored to the community by discovering and punishing anyone who kills another. To this author, however, justice is a much more complicated narrative."

Sandra Dallas creates a fictional story that takes place in a small rural, Colorado town during WWII. A Japanese Internment camps, Tallgrass, is built near the town. All the prejudices and meanness of so many White people reflect the real world biases and conflicts of the time. Told through the eyes of a pre-teen girl and her family who stands apart, we are transported to the time. I enjoyed the book, and in the last third of the book, the tension rose to where I really wanted to keep reading. I

2.5★From the blurb: Part thriller, part historical novel. I beg to differ. There is nothing about this that would put it in the category of thriller. In my opinion historical novel is stretching it as well. Inspired by historical events might fit. Some reviews and endorsements have also suggested that this could be considered in the same company with To Kill A Mockingbird. Again, perhaps inspired by, with scenes and characters mirrored from that treasure of a novel is my takeaway. It was neither

I loved this book! I bought a copy of it last summer when the author was signing copies in a little bookstore in Fort Madison, Iowa, and gave it to my wife as a birthday gift. Last week I picked it up at the library on CD to listen to while driving. listening to it was a pleasant suprise. The story begins in 1942 in rural Colorado as Japanese Americans are arriving at an internment camp. The story unfolds through the eyes of a thirteen year old local farm girl. It is a story of the tragedy of

Wow, this book was pretty bad. Tallgrass is an internment camp in Colorado outside the town of Ellis. A town where everyone knows your name and business. The japanese internment camp has the townsfolk a little worried, but not for the Stroud's. The Stroud's own the local beet farm and soon employ some prisoners from Tallgrass to work the fields. The story is told by Rennie Stroud, a 13 year old girl who is trying to understand the current events surrounding her. Suddenly, Rennie's friend Susan

A coming of age story set on a farm in Colorado near a Japanese internment camp during World War II -- what's not to like? It had every storyline I enjoy all rolled up into one neat little book. Loved it!
