This one is similar to Mr. Hoffman's other novels I had previously read, presenting background info about rural Virginia, a subject that always intrigues me. Thus far, I'm enjoying this one as I realize I'm approaching a turning point in the book I hope I'll continue to enjoy. So far I'm having a hard time putting this one down which is always a good thing! :)
