Bottomland: A Novel di Michelle Hoover
This book lost me when it switched to the second and then third narrator. I skipped ahead to see what really happened to the daughters, but then I called it quits.
Quick read. Beautifully written book, very much character driven, quiet drama, disturbing truths, haunting.
Intriguing storyline. Poorly written. Second Michelle Hoover and my last.
Lyrical prose, superb description, dialogue that rings true. Akin to The Color Purple but without the gratifying ending. Should have left off the last chapter, because the penultimate is raw and edgy and deep, and the last is a poor attempt at a salve. Worth reading for a gritty transport to the era, and for a lesson in writing tight, effective prose.
