Wow. This book was intense and beautifully written. I felt like I was there alongside Esch in the overpowering southern heat and humidity, trying to figure out how to let people know about her pregnancy.
This was utterly painful to read. I had to put it away at times. I will never forget it though. Surprised I never added it here. Maybe just too painful to talk about.
2016 READING CHALLENGE: A National Book Award Winner
A beautifully written novel, carefully and interestingly structured, about a dirt-poor family in Mississippi in the days before Hurricane Katrina and the days after. Heartbreaking in some ways; uplifting in others.
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
