Elizabeth B. (Cattriona) - reviewed on 7/13/2008 + 200 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 3

This is a Southern Gothic classic, written when the author was only 23 years old. It is not a "fluffy" read, dealing with themes of poverty and loneliness, and treatment of some characters (such as the deaf and the mentally ill) would be questionable by modern standards, but the characters are well-drawn and make you think. Recommended.
