It took me a long time to really get into this book, and I almost DNF'd a few times. The prose was so thick that at times it felt like wading through mud, and honestly I found most of the story depressing, but overall there was a quiet, haunting beauty that made it worth it (I think).
When I first read the description, I wasn't sure I would like this book. By the end, as I found myself wanting to know what happens next, I came to love it. Loyal Blood, and his family, don't have an easy life. While they often make both right and wrong decisions, they live their lives authentically. Proulx's descriptions brought me into the scenes, both beautiful and plain. It's a slow read, but well worth it.
