It was a really interesting read. It takes place starting in the 40's or so about a family in a mining town. To me it was especially interesting because my step father grew up in a mining town in Canada.
Jennifer Haigh did a fantastic job portraying the bleakness of it all. There wasn't a great climax as in a typical novel. I thought though it was more realistic than some books, there is no happily ever after, its just more that life continues with its ups and downs.
My grade: B-
I am in the middle of a Separate Peace by John Knowles and am really enjoying it. Reminds me in spirit of the Catcher and the Rye.
