a southern gothic cathartic exploration of identity and the complexity of where kindness, forcefulness, forgiveness, and forgetting all mix in a tangled up middle space. i really couldn't write a review for this book if i tried, but i would recommend it if you liked russell bank's "the sweet hereafter" or jacqueline harpman's "i who have never known men."
