I'm about half way through with this novel. Leah Weiss' writing is amazing. In her bio she writes how she tried to write the novel as if it should be read aloud and she is so right.The flow of the novel and how she writes has made me go back and re-read her compiled sentences over and over. The closest I can offer a comparison to is that of Daniel Woodrell and Winter's Bone. The story is about Appalachia in 1970 and a group of people in the mountains. What she is doing is telling a story and focusing on each character as events unfold. Can't recommend it highly enough....
