a load of boring friendless characters who don't want who wants them. are we supposed to think lucille is interesting? come-on, she's a teenager---interesting to herself maybe.
i can't believe 500gbbw and wtr recommended this. i guess my fiction reading taste is bizarre or something. (

This is an easily forgotten book that blends in with other "literary fiction" if you've read a great deal, or even some, southern literature. The characters, for the most part, are either flat or uninteresting, and the plot leaves something to be desired. In general, I just wanted more of some aspect to really keep me interested. It wasn't bad, but there was nothing there for me to find really worthwhile either. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

On an afternoon two years ago my life veered from its day-in day-out course and became for a short while the kind of life that can be told as a story--that is, one in which events appear to have meaning.
