This debut novel is set in rural Louisiana in the early 1900s, which is something as a non-American I had next to no knowledge of previously.
This took a long time for me to get into as I felt we're introduced to a large number of characters at once and the pacing and plot felt disjointed and was confusing at times. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the characters and the overarching sense of hope and light in the darkness.
Overall an enjoyable read.
