Susan P. (grandmasusan) reviewed on 4/18/2007 + 45 more book reviews

Brilliantly interweaves dark calamity with comedy to depict everyday life in tiny Limoges, Louisiana, in 1952. Told through the voices of its richly eccentric characters, She Flew the Coop is an entrancing picture of small-town life, filled with wry humor and humanity. Washington Post Book World said "West has created a whole world, southern in its gossip and interconnections, and utterly individual in the characters, who are ... teeming with life."
