Very good

Very long... But very a good book. Owen brings the characters alive and portrays a life that could have been any one of our own. His writing is thoughtful and artful, making the scenes come alive and giving individual voices to the characters. It's mid-western family life in a flawed, raw state but showing human resilience at it's finest. The use of curse words and some adult content makes this a book that you won't want your young children to read however.
