This book is sad and funny. A little slow to start, but it picks up and is a good read.

Very entertaining book in the tradition of "The Secret Life of Bees". Tragically, the author committed suicide a couple of years ago.

Interesting read - some of the main characters thoughts were a bit disturbing though. The author made me think!
