The Wettest County in the World - Matt Bondurant
Historical Fiction
Franklin County, Virginia. 1929. Prohibition. Moonshine. Bootleggers. Violence. Hard times.
Matt tells a fictional story about the family facts of his grandfather and two great-uncles. The story was good, I just had a very had time following it because of the way it jumped around. It was 1929 and then it was 1935 and then it was 1930. I don't mind books that go back and forth but I still need some consistency in the traveling back and forth .
All in all, living in that time period would have been very difficult and if you were in the business of moonshine, making or running it, it was a dangerous time.
