Summary
Named a LibraryReads Pick for March 2023 and a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by Oprah Daily， Elle， and LitHub ！
From Jeannette Walls， the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle ， comes a riveting new novel about an indomitable young woman in Virginia during Prohibition。
Most folk thought Sallie Kincaid was a nobody who’d amount to nothing。 Sallie had other plans。
Sallie Kincaid is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town， the charismatic Duke Kincaid。 Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of comfort and privilege， Sallie remembers little about her mother who died in a violent argument with the Duke。 By the time she is just eight years old， the Duke has remarried and had a son， Eddie。 While Sallie is her father’s daughter， sharp-witted and resourceful， Eddie is his mother’s son， timid and cerebral。 When Sallie tries to teach young Eddie to be more like their father， her daredevil coaching leads to an accident， and Sallie is cast out。
Nine years later， she returns， determined to reclaim her place in the family。 That’s a lot more complicated than Sallie expected， and she enters a world of conflict and lawlessness。 Sallie confronts the secrets and scandals that hide in the shadows of the Big House， navigates the factions in the family and town， and finally comes into her own as a bold， sometimes reckless bootlegger。
You will fall in love with Sallie Kincaid， a feisty and fearless， terrified and damaged young woman who refuses to be corralled。

Prohibition Era in the deep South is the plot。 I wanted so badly to love this authors work of fiction。 The female lead was well developed but the plot stayed somewhat stagnant for me。

Having loved The Glass Castle as well as an amazing interview with Jeannette Walls on CBS Sunday Morning a few years ago， I was excited to read her new fictional book HANG THE MOON。 I found I could not turn the pages fast enough starting with the Prologue and the first third of the book。 My heart went out to nine-year-old Sallie from the very beginning when she was blamed for an accident involving her younger brother Eddie。 Her father takes her to live with her aunt because her step-mother does Having loved The Glass Castle as well as an amazing interview with Jeannette Walls on CBS Sunday Morning a few years ago， I was excited to read her new fictional book HANG THE MOON。 I found I could not turn the pages fast enough starting with the Prologue and the first third of the book。 My heart went out to nine-year-old Sallie from the very beginning when she was blamed for an accident involving her younger brother Eddie。 Her father takes her to live with her aunt because her step-mother does not want Sallie around。 She lives with her aunt for nine years until Eddie’s mom， Jane， passes away。 Her father brings her back， puts Sallie in charge of Eddie’s education and remarries。 I thought this was going to be a moving fast-paced book， and it was until there is an accident where Sallie’s father died。 Here is where I thought the story would show the growth of Sallie; however， I felt like the book became more of a soap opera with lots of characters that were in and out of the story。 It was almost like every idea that shows up in a soap opera were part of the story。 My thanks to Scribner and NetGalley for an ARC of this book。 The opinions in this review are my own。 。。。more

I was really looking forward to reading Hang the Moon。 I read The Glass Castle years ago and loved Jeanette Wall’s writing so much。 Sallie Kincaid’s life is anything but simple。 Her father， Duke Kincaid， is the unofficial king of Clairborne County， VA。 He’s respected in the community， he’s a rum runner， a bootlegger， and Sallie just thinks the world of him。 It all changes when Sallie’s mother is killed in an argument with the Duke and he quickly replaces her with another wife。 Sallie knows much I was really looking forward to reading Hang the Moon。 I read The Glass Castle years ago and loved Jeanette Wall’s writing so much。 Sallie Kincaid’s life is anything but simple。 Her father， Duke Kincaid， is the unofficial king of Clairborne County， VA。 He’s respected in the community， he’s a rum runner， a bootlegger， and Sallie just thinks the world of him。 It all changes when Sallie’s mother is killed in an argument with the Duke and he quickly replaces her with another wife。 Sallie knows much heartache & loss in her young life。 The story follows her trials and tribulations as she takes on the bootlegging business in the roaring 20s。 I did enjoy the book， but felt the chapters jumped around a bit too quickly and I wasn’t as invested in Sallie as I wanted to be。 I did find the history of bootlegging during prohibition interesting， This was not an easy time to be a woman， and many were ill-treated。 It’s hard to think about how little control women held over their own lives and the struggles they endured。 。。。more

then， but the widower remarries a woman named Jane， of ‘good breeding’， not like her mother whose death is suspicious， a beauty she doesn’t much remember。 The two have a son named Eddie， and Jane isn’t fond of Sallie， in fact she believes she is a bad influence on her son and is far too rowdy for a young lady。 Where Sallie is strong， intelligent， healthy and a little daredevil who loves speeding fast in her wagon， Eddie is often ill， delicate in nature and nearly allergic to being outdoors。 Naturally Jane dotes on him， which irritates the Duke。 There is an accident， and 8-year-old Sallie is in trouble， it is then her father makes a decision that she must be sent away to her mother’s sister， Aunt Faye in Hatfield， if he is to know peace from Jane。 It won’t be long， he assures his whippersnapper， only just until， “this blows over。”Nine years later her childhood friend Tom Dunbar is tasked with the job of bringing her back home to Caywood。 Her father needs her now， to take over care of her brother， the very boy Jane felt she endangered。 The long years between she has been living a harder life， helping her aunt make ends meet， despite the help her father provides。 Walking back into the house， she feels like a stranger， and the rest of the family isn’t happy to see Sallie either， reminding her not to show any fight or they will say she is just like her mother was。 Duke’s focus now is on raising his son to be a future senator， Eddie means everything to him， and Sallie’s role is to ‘toughen him up。’ Eddie， like her， has had a big loss but that doesn’t mean they will bond， that he will obey。 Her purpose will be tested by a lot more than a troubled half-brother。 Her father also wants her to marry well， but Sallie has always wanted to be more， challenging the freedoms not given to women。 He wants grandsons， he wants her to get ahead the only way a woman can… through marriage。 She wants none of it。 She is also worried about how Aunt Faye will survive now that she won’t be returning to live with her and the Duke’s support will stop。 He is unmovable， as stoney as the wall they once built together， more so when the forbidden subject of her mother， which he calls ‘that woman，’ comes up。 There were periods when she and her aunt didn’t have enough food， and it’s only a matter of time before Faye is low again， taking on desperate work。 It eats away at her mind that she is all alone， in dire straits， unlike their father， she is unquestionably loyal and caring。It’s a challenge to ‘find the Kincaid’ in Eddie， swallowed in grief over the loss of his mother， who the Duke is trying to erase as he is on the hunt for another wife。 Their father isn’t the most sensitive person， it’s his world， and everyone else better just toughen up and fall in line。 Kat， the new stepmother， is introduced into the home and as she grows chummy with Eddie， Sallie wonders if her father will no longer have use for her， fearful of being displaced yet again。 She refuses to break， talking her dad into a job most men couldn’t handle。 She will prove herself or die。There are more trials headed her way， including the Duke’s eldest child， her sister Mary。 Tradition states everything goes to Eddie when the Duke dies， the businesses， the home， and the land but with Eddie being a minor， it becomes a fight。 Whether his sister is a better fit doesn’t matter， the male heir takes all。 Soon， Sallie’s family is divided again， even Kat is unsure of where she stands。 Then there are the local bootleggers， and the messy politics， prohibition laws that stir up nothing but trouble with the locals。 Change is on the way， and family loyalty is tested。 This novel is full of tragedy， and devastating turns but Sallie is a fiercely strong， independent force of nature。 It’s an engaging historical fiction， one that I can see being turned into a movie。 There is racism， domestic violence， suicide， marriages， pregnancies， a custody battle and of course passionate love。 The family has a whole plot full of skeletons， it would seem， rather than a closet。 Sallie will endure betrayal， heartbreak， deception， and violence trying to build a family。 Will she ever know peace？An engaging read， perfect for fans of historical fiction and family drama。Publication Date: March 28， 2023Scribner 。。。more

This is Jeanette Walks story of the people of Virginia， whose lives were upended by Prohibition。 I was totally amazed by the twists and turns this story took， so many characters and lots of backstories。 Needless to say I had to keep my thinking cap on as I flipped the pages to finally get to the end of Hang the Moon。

This book was like reading about a small town with some strange but shallowly presented characters。 Sometimes I was entertained by the shenanigans and doings。 Sometimes I was annoyed。 By the end I was thinking， “So， what was the point？”。 I’m still asking。 This book just jumped from one crazy thing to another。 Fun but a bit outlandish。 Read it for what it is and don’t expect a lot of growth。

Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls is a very highly recommended historical fiction and family drama which follows a young woman in Virginia during Prohibition。Sallie Kincaid is the daughter Duke Kincaid， a wealthy man who owns or runs most of Claiborne County， Virginia。 At the Emporium general store he owes， the Duke also sells bootleg whiskey he has received in lieu of rent。 Sallie is the daughter of his second wife， who is deceased。 She adores her father and his bigger than life personality。 His Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls is a very highly recommended historical fiction and family drama which follows a young woman in Virginia during Prohibition。Sallie Kincaid is the daughter Duke Kincaid， a wealthy man who owns or runs most of Claiborne County， Virginia。 At the Emporium general store he owes， the Duke also sells bootleg whiskey he has received in lieu of rent。 Sallie is the daughter of his second wife， who is deceased。 She adores her father and his bigger than life personality。 His third wife， Jane has a son， Eddie。 When she is eight-years-old an accident involving three-year-old Eddie results in， at the behest of Jane， the Duke banishing Sallie to go live with her Aunt Faye。Nine years later， Jane has died and Sallie is immediately brought back into the family by Duke， ostensibly to teach Eddie。 Now， however， Sallie understands more of the world full of secrets， conflicts， and scandals around her and her family。 She is determined to never marry and make her own way into the family rental property and bootlegging empire， while navigating the conflicts。 Duke quickly marries his fourth wife and life becomes much more complicated following this decision。The writing is wonderful and the plot is compelling。 I was fully engaged in this family drama and the many surprising turns and the surprising revelations within the narrative。 There is a tangle of family intrigue， complications， questionable morals， and hidden secrets in Hang the Moon。 Even when the many complexities seem to be over the top， the fact that the plot was inspired by the life of Elizabeth I of England， daughter of Henry VIII makes it even better。 History buffs will be able to pick up on the similarities to Tudor England。Sallie is a great fully realized， intelligent， and complex character。 Walls portrays both her strengths and weaknesses。 She can be fearless， reckless， stubborn， and outspoken， but she is also damaged。 Due to the many characters， not all of them are as developed as Sallie， but they all still resemble real people with very different personalities and proclivities。Disclosure: My review copy was courtesy of Scribner via NetGalley。http://www。shetreadssoftly。com/2023/0。。。 。。。more

This is a sweeping saga of a town and a family during the days of prohibition。 It is also a tale about how one man’s actions can affect a whole generation。 It is so captivating that I read it in one sitting。 The characters are easy to connect with， especially Sallie。 The way that layers of family mystery are slowly， painfully unpeeled is masterful。 Highly recommended to fans of historical fiction and family sagas。I received a free copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley。 My review is v This is a sweeping saga of a town and a family during the days of prohibition。 It is also a tale about how one man’s actions can affect a whole generation。 It is so captivating that I read it in one sitting。 The characters are easy to connect with， especially Sallie。 The way that layers of family mystery are slowly， painfully unpeeled is masterful。 Highly recommended to fans of historical fiction and family sagas。I received a free copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley。 My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

Jeannette Walls is an excellent writer （loved the Glass Castle） and this story reflects that。 The writing is easy to read and the main character， Sally， is a very likeable heroine。 The story is told from her point of view。I found the Prohibition time setting interesting - the author did a lot of research on this， and notes that some characters and scenes were inspired by real people and events。 I also found revealing the depiction of how men dominated society and women’s lives， as exemplified pa Jeannette Walls is an excellent writer （loved the Glass Castle） and this story reflects that。 The writing is easy to read and the main character， Sally， is a very likeable heroine。 The story is told from her point of view。I found the Prohibition time setting interesting - the author did a lot of research on this， and notes that some characters and scenes were inspired by real people and events。 I also found revealing the depiction of how men dominated society and women’s lives， as exemplified particularly by Sally’s misogynistic father， Duke。 Sally， however， decided that that was not the life for her and， through a string of events， ended up heading her family’s bootleg operation in rural Virginia。 Her father was a huge presence in her life - as a girl， she thought he hung the moon， and her actions were shaped by trying to win his love and approval。 The novel shows her journey to self-discovery。Overall， the plot was good but I thought the novel could have been shorter as the middle part dragged a bit。 The pacing was also weighted to the back half of the book and perhaps some of the later events could have been more evenly dispersed。 However， overall， I did find this a worthwhile read and recommend it to historical fiction fans and those who like well-written fiction。Thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada and Netgalley for this complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Jeannette Walls delivers another great story。。。this time is fiction but that doesn't stop it from being just as engaging and entertaining as her memoirs。 This one has all the family drama， a strong female main character， romance and lots of action all framed over decades but concentrated in the prohibition era。 This one is fun， sweet， sappy and witty。 Highly recommend！Thanks to Librofm and Simon Audio for this complimentary audiobook。 My thoughts are my own。 Jeannette Walls delivers another great story。。。this time is fiction but that doesn't stop it from being just as engaging and entertaining as her memoirs。 This one has all the family drama， a strong female main character， romance and lots of action all framed over decades but concentrated in the prohibition era。 This one is fun， sweet， sappy and witty。 Highly recommend！Thanks to Librofm and Simon Audio for this complimentary audiobook。 My thoughts are my own。 。。。more

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。3。5 stars - engaging story of a woman going against traditional gender roles during Prohibition， but also falls under what I’d call an Oprah’s Book Club type book - seems like everyone dies， or winds up pregnant， or has unexpected parentage。

The Duke is the head of a powerful Virginia family。 The Kincaids own land， run the town businesses and during Prohibition make a fortune in running bootleg moonshine。 The Duke is a bit of a complex character and has several children from his various wives。 The story focuses on daughter Sallie who is sent away after an incident with her half brother。 When Duke’s wife dies， he brings Sallie home and she begins working for her beloved father。 As she grows and the family faces change and hardship， S The Duke is the head of a powerful Virginia family。 The Kincaids own land， run the town businesses and during Prohibition make a fortune in running bootleg moonshine。 The Duke is a bit of a complex character and has several children from his various wives。 The story focuses on daughter Sallie who is sent away after an incident with her half brother。 When Duke’s wife dies， he brings Sallie home and she begins working for her beloved father。 As she grows and the family faces change and hardship， Sallie must find her strength， her voice and come to grips with the truth of who her father really was。Sallie was a lovely， strong woman out of her time。 I enjoyed seeing the choices she would make and how protective and caring she was about those in her circle。 The lengths these small town folks went to protect their livelihood and how long they held on to grudges is hard to believe。 Certainly makes for a good read though。 I do think this one does paint men all with a pretty negative brush though。 They didn’t all need to be so immoral and violent to show how strong， clever and resilient Sallie was。 But that is my only criticism。Thanks to Scribner Books， the author and Dart Frog Co for the gifted copy。 All opinions above are my own。 。。。more

I have always been a fan of Jeannette Walls and have read and loved all of her books。 So when the opportunity to read and review an e-arc came my way， I did a little happy dance and dove right in！ While Hang The Moon is not her typical memoir， it is considered historical fiction as it is loosely based on individuals and events that took place during prohibition in the 1920’s。 Meet Sallie Kincaid， the protagonist and daughter of the legendary Duke Kincaid。 The unofficial ruler and wealthiest man I have always been a fan of Jeannette Walls and have read and loved all of her books。 So when the opportunity to read and review an e-arc came my way， I did a little happy dance and dove right in！ While Hang The Moon is not her typical memoir， it is considered historical fiction as it is loosely based on individuals and events that took place during prohibition in the 1920’s。 Meet Sallie Kincaid， the protagonist and daughter of the legendary Duke Kincaid。 The unofficial ruler and wealthiest man of a small town in Virginia。 Sallie adores her father so much that she believes he “hung the moon and scattered the stars” in the sky。 When Sallie is younger， she seems oblivious and blind to her to fathers lawless and ruthless ways。 However her eyes are opened after her father dies in a tragic accident， and Sallie must step up to the plate and run his empire。 What transpires is the story of a strong and independent young woman learning her way through prohibition， gender inequality and tragedy upon tragedy。 While I thought Hang the Moon was entertaining， action packed and riveting， I was a bit disappointed。 My expectations were set very high after reading Ms Walls previous books， and I just felt that Hang the Moon didn’t quite measure up。 While some aspects of the book resonated with me like Sallies resilience， her strong work ethic and her love of family， other parts of the story seems a bit over the top。 But all in all， Hang the Moon was an entertaining and interesting read。 Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for my arc of Hang the Moon by Jeanette Walls in exchange for my honest review。 Pub Date: March 28 2023 。。。more

I am a fan of Jeanette Walls' memoirs， particularly The Glass Castle， and I am happy to say that I am a fan of this novel as well。 Our main character， Sallie Kincaid， is quite the scrappy girl and grows up to be an equally scrappy adult which plays in her favor for the most part。Sallie's mom dies when she is a young child and as the story begins， she lives with her dad and his current wife and her half brother， Eddie。 A tiny accident happens with her brother and she is sent to live with her mate I am a fan of Jeanette Walls' memoirs， particularly The Glass Castle， and I am happy to say that I am a fan of this novel as well。 Our main character， Sallie Kincaid， is quite the scrappy girl and grows up to be an equally scrappy adult which plays in her favor for the most part。Sallie's mom dies when she is a young child and as the story begins， she lives with her dad and his current wife and her half brother， Eddie。 A tiny accident happens with her brother and she is sent to live with her maternal aunt until "things cool down"。 Fast forward to 9 years later when she is fetched to help raise her brother after her step mom has passed away as well。Sallie's father is Duke Kincaid aka big man around town that everyone seems to owe whether it be money， respect， etc。 Sallie learns the ropes， so to speak， of the family business， but is once again somewhat shut out after the Duke dies leaving her oldest sister and her new pastor husband to run the county。Circumstances change and Sallie tries to restore the family name and business dealings which is difficult for a woman in any time let alone in the early 20th century。 Ultimately， her family is what means the most to her and she does all she can to do right by them despite constant life road blocks and being of such a strong and independent mind。This book had me from the beginning and I loved Sallie and her wild， but loving spirit and would recommend this book to anyone。 。。。more
