This book was so well written and follows the family for three generations. ( ) I started out not liking this book at all--I couldn't stand the dialect in the early pages--but it really grew on me. I thought it was very moving and that the characters were well-drawn. I've read that some people felt there was not enough payoff, but I thought the ending was very poignant. So thumbs up, even if four stars does feel a tiny bit generous.
In unadorned but assured prose, Greene then takes her readers to the hardscrabble world of foster homes and juvenile detention centers, of life in a blue-collar Appalachian town. Greene’s novel is undeniably appealing, in the way its weird swirl of Southern Gothic and bleak domestic drama keeps the pages turning. But the overall impression the novel leaves is lacking. Greene is apparently unable to truly confront some of the novel’s darker moments, and is more interested in Appalachia as a sort of mystical Shangri-la. AuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige Auswahlen
