Pretty good book, though not what I expected it to be. (I was expecting Auntie Mame and got something completely different!)
A young 1930s housewife in rural Tennessee defends herself against an intruder, and the echoes of her act ring through the rest of her life and those of her daughters and, ultimately, their daughters'. West takes on the notion of favored-children here, and while one occasionally loses patience with the child who feels herself less loved, it's still a powerful piece in many ways.
