At the Scent of Water

Thankfully, this book also surpassed the first Nichols book I reread a couple weeks ago. 

Part of what appeals to me about this book is the setting. While it's not quite my hometown, it's close enough that I recognize the place names and the culture that pervades the southernmost parts of the Appalachians. 

I loved all the characters in this book and the complex web that Nichols wove. The only part that I thought took away from the story was the lack of nuanced growth back together of the main characters, Annie and Sam. While it is obvious from the outset that they'll be getting back together, the conclusion was almost anticlimactic. 

I do like the book and recommend it as a good read.
