I seriously loved this book. Parts had me close to tears from the feelings in the book.. other times I was close to tears from laughing so hard. This was the first book by this author I have read and am very glad I did. It was amazing. The writing and plot sucked me into the story and made me feel like I was there. I had to know what was going to happen and couldn't put it down until I found out. I loved the characters and that they didn't have an easy time. The love, fear, happiness and sadness. The anger all of it was so well written I was feeling all of it with them and couldn't wait to see if things would change. Amazing!

"O’Connor enshrines in each of her characters an unforgettable rendition of a basic human flaw: venality, bigotry, pent-up anger, stupidity, jealousy, greed, even innocence. Her dark humor is funniest when she is laying bare some horrible piece of human nastiness. And the writing! She can evoke more from the particulars of a person’s face than any other writer I know. For example: “His face behind the windshield was sour and froglike; it looked like it had a shout closed up in it, it looked like one of those closet doors in gangster pictures where there is somebody tied to a chair behind it with a towel in his mouth.” (“The Heart of the Park”) “She jumped back and looked as if she were going to swallow her face.” (“The Peeler”)"
