5.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful, lyrical storytelling and rich characterization mark this first novel,
By
This review is from: A Sandhills Ballad (Hardcover)
I was deeply moved by the main character's story in this powerful, lyrical tale of a young woman's emotional growth. Also by the relationship with her father, so carefully and richly developed, as well as with her whole nuclear family and the families she comes into as her life is touched by love, loss, confusion, and difficult decisions. It's a richly detailed, nuanced, insightful novel, attentive to character and setting--the world of the midwest sandhills. The story moves well, a narrativefull of pain, of emotion, convincing and compelling. The language feels both lyrical and accurate: this first novel has all the traditional strengths I look for, and is fully satisfying.
