Guests on Earth, Lee Smith
I received this book from Librarything.com to provide a review and I couldnt have been happier with the experience. It doesnt take but a few pages to fall in love with this tale of loss, mental illness, community and acceptance. Bringing one to the question of who is really crazy and why. The voice of Evalina rises slowly from her earliest memories to the life she is afforded and her road to hope and recovery. A road Im not altogether sure she found but I found intriguing, consternating and ultimately fascinating. This was a new point of view for me and I thoroughly enjoyed every odd choice and happenstance. So much is enlightening, stupefying and entertaining and days later, Im still wondering on the ultimate ending.
