Beautiful prose that I could not put down. This book reminded me a bit of another wonderful story by Wendell Berry, “Hannah Coulter” and follows the life of an ordinary poor woman in the midwest during the depression . The characters are well drawn and the story is captivatingly simple and one that made me want the book to last far longer. This is a FINE novel of the highest caliber . There are very few books as well written these days . I loved every single page and the examination of the hearts of the simple characters as they dealt with life’ s unexpected turns, tumbles, and losses .
