Ok sooo I'm leaning this closer to a 4, really it's a 3 and a half. Sweetgrass Basket is a sad narration told by two sisters who go off to live a "better" life. In the beginning it reads very much as a Young Adult book so much so that I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. But the story takes a turn and the writing does as well and in the end it is a very sad story told very simply. I enjoyed it very much.
