I am loving this book so far. As a Boston native, I love the historical aspects of the book. With having been out of town for the weekend for a family event, I haven't been able to get into it as much as I would like, but I expect that will change now that I'm home and sinking my teeth into it more. The writing is exceptional!

I heard an interview with Sarah Smarsh on NPR. My family history includes a father who comes from a similar background. He actually comes from a place called "Poor Valley." I was intrigued by her interview. My mother was also poor, but urban poor. I grew up in Boston. When we would visit our relatives in Poor Valley, I would get angry at them because they never seemed to want to leave, to better their "lot in life."

This is a really interesting book! I thought I knew more than I do about the Montreal Expos, but I'm learning so much! Well-written, amazing interviews and anecdotes.

Interesting so far.

Lots of levels to this book. It builds as it goes along. I'm really getting into it.
