YA historical fiction novel about Georgina, a girl of eleven, who moves with her family in the 1840's to the wilds of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Borning Room is a room set aside for births and deaths of which Georgina experiences many. A good read. 101 pages ( ) Nice episodic, story about a family's history centered around a room where people are born and die. There is the grandfather who is spiritual and whose Sunday worship is spent outdoors in the woods; a runaway slave whose firsthand knowledge of childbirth is helpful; a teacher who lives with each of the families of his students; and others. I especially liked a paragraph in which the first-person narrator describes the light her mother brings to others and the flickering that she herself provides. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Lying at the end of her life in the room where she was born in 1851, Georgina remembers what it was like to grow up on the Ohio frontier. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
