review 1: This novel is so multi-faceted, it's hard to write much about without giving away the story line too much. The setting changes during the course of the book, but the main characters, Lark and her brother nicknamed Termite, are in a small town in West Virginia. What touched me most was the relationship between the two siblings plus with their aunt Nonie, who is raising the pair. Termite is disabled, and his story brought to mind the students I teach, and it made me wonder what they might be thinking. The book is complex but interesting, with the theme of family love underlying it all.
review 2: #41 - My husband came across a review of this book some time ago. The West Virginia piece caught his eye. I finally got around to listening to the recorded book. Us... moreually I love listening to fiction, but this one was difficult. The female narrator did an excellent job, but the male narrator's pacing was rough and his diction was abrupt. It really took away from the story because I would have a very hard time following it. Still, the writing and story development were awesome and I'd really like to look Lark up the next time I'm in Florida. less
