The Lager Queen of Minnesota
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.
