I think Annie Proulx has a fun way of approaching stories. She tells this story through a series of postcards. It's interesting story with a nice pace.

I love Annie Proulx's writing! This book reminds me of Steinbeck... you feel the setting and the torment of the main character, Loyal Blood, who could have stepped out of the pages of The Grapes of Wrath. It's a quiet but absorbing read... highly recommended.

I admit, this book did start out a bit slow. But it picked up and read pretty quickly after the first couple chapters. I enjoy the author's unique prose. Her books are a great change of pace from the other things I come across! This book is an interesting look at the various members of a settled New England family in a changing world.
