Pegasus Books 5/5/2020. New hardcover. in Brand New jacket. Includes a signed bookplate while supplies last. Store pick: The writing in The Last Blue is lyrical and the story is mesmerizing. Knowing that the Blue People of Kentucky really existed made me feel like I was truly experiencing history. It is a story of bullying and prejudice – different is different - and people reacted much the same back then as they do today. But more importantly it is a story of family, of sacrifice, of doing the right thing, and one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read. There is also murder and attempted murder. However, because of the skillful way the story is told jumping back and forth from 1937 to 1972 you will be kept in suspense until the very end about what all happened in Chance, KY in 1937. I highly recommend this for book clubs – the discussions will be endless. -Nancy M., store volunteer (seconded by Nancy H., store reader)
