I like the second part but not the end with all the repetitive phrases. I like the daughter’s and youngest son’s plot line. The book talks about religion, community, family and secrets. I get why people liked it at the time

Definitely a lot of repetitive phrases said now at the end like he is my brother. I get that it is for a reason but it’s change

I feel like I’m getting it now. I didn’t like it until at least 50 percent. It could time to adjust to the writing style. The audiobook also has a southern accent. It does feel atmospheric. Listening to while I finish wrapping presents

I had to google a character list and read a summary but I think I got it now

I don’t like the writing style. I’m not sure if the stream of concussion narrative or if it’s because of the old style vocabulary. The names don’t sound like names like Dewey Dell

I need a stream of consciousness narrative book to finish my reading challenge (and a book with a celebrity on the cover) thanks to the librarian for this suggestion. I had no ideas. I think the bell jar fits too and I may read that later
