Interesting book, I think she catches a feel for Bombay Beach, and she catches a lot(but not all) of how a 12 year old would feel in that situation. She takes some liberties with time and place (Niland, where he and his brother attend school, is 15 miles as the crow flies from Bombay Beach, more like 20 miles on the only highway connecting them, I doubt whether even this mom would let her 12 year old and 6 year old sons ride bicycles to school every day)(the 6 year old in 1978 becomes a 38 year old in 2007)
