Rich with detail and compassion. Love the characters and Haigh's gift of bringing them to life with words.

This author is an excellant writer. She could probably write about the weather and it would be difficult to put the book down. In this book, she is following the demise of a coal town and how it affects the various families. Her characters are likeable and believable. Not my favorite by her, but still better than most books that I have read. I would compare her writing to a cross between Anne Tyler and Jodie Picoult, which is high praise indeed.
