The Mineral Palace

Summary: Mineral Palace
Review: This book was so filled with erroneous information that I couldn't focus on the author's craftsmanship. Although this was an Oprah book and received excellent critical reviews I was extremely offended by Miss Julavits' lack of responsible research. She wrote a book about a real town and real people but she distorted the facts. I lived in the town in l934 when the book was set and there was no resemblance to the actual town of Pueblo, Colorado or the people who lived there. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
