I read this for February's book discussion, which I ended up missing in order to attend a Trolley meeting. 2011's National Book Award winner starts out quiet and slow, but builds to a big, strong finish. 15 year-old Esch, motherless, lives in Bois Sauvage, Mississippi. The story revolves around her, her family, their place, her brother Skeeter's dogs, and the impending storm. It is a thoughtful, violent, and beautiful piece of work. One of my favorite books in the last couple of years.
