 The Daisy Children - Sofia Grant  

#monthlykeyword-aug-flower

Just because an historical event in mentioned, does that really make it an historical fiction novel??   It does not for me.

The event is the 1937 New London, Tx school explosion where over 200 children were killed. The author said she wrote this book to remember all of those lost souls, but does she?  

The main characters are mean, manipulative and selfish. The chapters alternated between Margaret's life 1937 and into her future and Katie, Margaret's granddaughter.  But they did not flow and I was constantly getting confused on who was who.
