Customer Reviews

I Wasn't Disappointed

This is not the sort of novel I usually read, but I bought it because Malachy McCourt recommended it, and I wasn't disappointed. It is, indeed, a beautifully written, sweet, sad coming-of-age story, with a lot of local color. Thank you, Malachy, for recommending this delightful tale. watziznaym@gmail.com

Give Us More!

I loved this book and can't wait for her next novel! Hinton is becoming one of the fresh new voices of the south.

Another wonder story by Lynne Hinton

I devoured The Things I Know Best in only two days. Lynne Hinton has a gift for taking us into the story and holding us there until the final page. The paper is her canvas and well-chosen words are the medium for guiding us into the settings she creates. She writes simply yet fully. I love her style and her stories. I only wish that there had been a few more chapters to this wonderful novel.
