In reply to Catherine. It is sad that the same prison is featured so prominently in Southern fiction.

So much agreement with you on this one. I didn’t care for the letters section but it didn’t impact my overall feel for the book. And, yes on the ending. It was exactly as it should be, which is so satisfying for a reader. Kind of the opposite of The Great Alone!

I did not make the connection between this novel and Sing, Unburied. Depressing…

I’m not going to read too much of your review right now — since I plan to get to it soon and I want to go into a bit blind but I’m glad you gave it a B+. This gives me the go-ahead that it is truly worth pursuing. thanks.

I’m 55 pages in right now, and loving it. Its very complex, and I can’t wait to see how this book plays out!

In reply to Renee. I actually feel like I like this book a little further i get away from it.
