UnCovered
review by Filomena Scotto DiVetta, ACLS Galloway Branch
I listened to “The
Lager Queen of Minnesota” by J. Ryan Stradal on the Libby
app that the library provides. It was fun listening to it on my way to and from
work. I was so intrigued by the story that I also listened to it around my
house!
This book is about two
sisters, Edith and Helen, who are raised on a farm in Minnesota. As the years
go by they grow apart - each one with their own differences and struggles.
Helen is more rigid than her sister Edith, who is always taking care of people
in her life. Helen inherits the farm with a plan to make her dream come true of
owning a successful brewery. This puts a strain between the sisters who go
years without talking. Diana, Edith’s granddaughter, ends up living with her
grandmother and develops the same interest for running a brewery as her
great-aunt Helen.
This book will make you
laugh and cry. You will enjoy getting to read or listen to the characters as
they go through life. The author does an amazing job of making the characters
unique and different from each other.
