Review of Seven Weeks in Low Country
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Seven Weeks in Low Country" by Lenore Thompsen.]
Seven Weeks in Low Country: A South Carolina Adventure by Lenore Thompsen is a short fictional book. The book gives the account of a couple's experience working as the Head Gardeners of a plantation. It is divided into thirty-nine chapters with fifty-three pages. The themes of the book are comedy and adventure.
The book is based on actual events. Brad and Laura decided to leave Minnesota because of the harsh weather. They planned to move to South Carolina to accept what they considered the perfect job, working as Head Gardeners of a plantation. The job came with the bonus of an apartment. The plantation has a reputation of employees resigning early because of the horrible and dangerous conditions of the place. The current employees even placed bets to see how long the couple would last as the Head Gardeners. These partners found out that serving on the plantation was not as safe and straightforward as it looked. Read more to find out the conditions attached to the plantation.
The story begins with the couple applying for a job in South Carolina. I had never had much knowledge about how a plantation looks like, but the author gave an accurate description of the plantation. It was a concise story filled with humorous personalities. I had a lot of laughs while reading the story. Despite the technical terms used to describe the plantation, the book was elementary to read and understand.
One thing I admired the most about the story was the ability of the couple to find harmony and beauty amidst their unpleasant job. My favorite scene was where the couple described the procedure of killing a snake without the employer's knowledge. I also learned an important lesson from this story: giving up or quitting does not necessarily mean being weak.
There were a lot of issues I found with the book. The chapter development was disorganized and confusing. The author did not give a name to the person narrating the chapters. I also noticed the author did not develop the storyline properly. Even though it was a short book, I had to go some pages backward to understand better. I found some grammatical and punctuation errors that affected my reading comprehension. For these reasons, I am rating Seven Weeks in Low Country: A South Carolina Adventure 2 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to readers of adventure and comedy stories.
