Waay back in the mid-seventies I spent a long weekend touring the Arkansas Ozarks. I'd never seen such abject poverty in my life! In WINTER'S BONE, Weedrell flawlessly captures what the place is like.
Recently, I read BLOODROOT which gave a view into life in the mountains and hollers of Appalachia, but this book made that one look like a picnic on a summer's day. It was cold, raw and violent. So, why read it? The author writes SO well! His sentences are amazing and his descriptions come from someone who knows of what he speaks.
This is a tough read to take, but it was worth it
