Summary: The Coffin Quilt
Comment: The Coffin Quilt by Ann Rinaldi is a fictional story based on the historic Hatfield and McCoy feud that occurred near the Kentucky-West Virginia border. Told from the eyes of Fanny McCoy, the youngest of 14 children, this captivating novel tells how the feud, which has been rankling since the Civil War, suddenly explodes into a maelstrom of hatred and violence when Roseanna McCoy elopes with handsome Johnse Hatfield in 1880. Although Roseanna is soon returned to her family, bringing with her an unfinished coffin-decorated quilt and an unborn baby, the damage has already been done and the feud slowly escalates until one terrible night of killing. Rinaldi is adept in her storytelling, providing vivid details and homespun language to accompany her Romeo and Juliet styled story. Although the novel is a tad morbid and slightly difficult to follow with its large cast of characters and tendency to jump around, it still makes an enjoyable read that historical fiction fans will love.

Summary: my review
Comment: The coffin Quilt is the story of the hatfielf-McCoy fued through the eyes of the youngest McCoy. Fanny McCoy is 7 years old when this story begins. She idolizes her sister Ro. This leads to lots of conflit internal and external. The story is filled with young love when a McCoy and a Hatfield fall inlove. Both families don't want them to be together and that makes for some great drama. This is an interesting book that will keep you wanting to know more. You can't put it down once you start it. It's a very good quick read for anyone!

Summary: ummm
Comment: If you really like books that have family fueds, killing, and a little bit of drama...this is it! In my own perspective, I did not really like this book. The transitions in the book are slow. That is one thing I didn't really like; Everything in each chapter sounded alike. This is definitly not my type of book but it may be for you.
