Simon The Fiddler by Paulette Jiles

 My Rating: 3.0

At the end of the Civil War, Simon is a fiddler that moves around with his ragtag group of musicians, trying to make a living. When he meets an Irish lash, Doris, she captures his heart and his thoughts despite them having to move in different directions. 

Jiles writing is beautiful and I enjoyed the characters as well as the details of that time period but this unfolded extremely slowly. Definitely not in the same category as her other book News of the World that I loved so much.
