review 1: Great collection of vignettes with a matter of fact, easy tone that suits the setting of these stories. The characters are compelling and very real, with a somberness to them that make you think about your own life as you read about theirs. Surprsingly, the story that was most resonant for me was the transplanted family from "Shelter," which takes place in urban Washington, D. C., and not rural Virginia. Well worth reading.
review 2: What a treat to get to meet Belle Boggs at book club! She is thoughtful, interesting, and devoted to her craft. It was a lively conversation! I enjoyed these stories and highlighted a number of passages that struck me as particularly true and beautifully-written. The stories were sufficiently connected that I found myself somet... moreimes wishing it were a novel to allow for greater growth development of the characters. Glad I now know how to say MA-ta-puh-NI; it's so much more musical than Ma-tuh-PO-nee! less
