Fantastic author, perfectly narrated

2nd time through Clay's Quilt this year. Silas House writes beautifully & narrated by one of the best.

Spectacular

Truly captures the spirit of eastern Kentucky. I feel as though I already knew everyone in this book the moment they were so beautifully introduced and stitched together like a quilt.

It was like reading my own story.

Incredibly accurate depiction of Appalachian life and holler life. I thought we were the only ones who made Peanut Butter Candy when it snowed. Love. Love. Love.

A little disappointed after reading the first two

This was a little bit of a let down after the rich telling of the first two in this “trilogy”. The narration is hard to listen to and may have played a part in my disappointment. I had hoped it to be more woven together in the end.

Love this book

I first read this book many years ago and as I am a ky girl myself it really resonated with me. I love this book and the way it’s read a loud here on audible. The people in the story could be people I know or am related to and they way the narrator speaks brought me back to my grandmothers kitchen when I was a child. Thank you Silas house for capturing the very essence of what it means to be mountain people!
