Kate’s 2¢: “A thousand moons” by Sebastian Barry

“A thousand moons” by Sebastian Barry

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I wasn’t real thrilled about this story. It was so derogatory to just about every group of people, as well as being sure to let everyone know that there were gays and lesbians back in the day.
