Wonderfully detailed and beautifully evocative portrait of mental illness in a very particular time and environment. No one tells a story quite like Lee Smith. My beef with this book is that Evalina's story seemed to be missing something. I wanted to know more about her mother and about her own sickness. I suppose though that with all of the other story lines that one was the least relevant. I also highly recommend reading On Agate Hill.. It's Ms. Smith at her finest.
