The Hum and the Shiver

For me this was a strange but oddly satisfying story. There is a tribe of fantastic rednecks called the Tufa who live in a remote community in the mountains of East Tennessee. They live their lives in and are part of that country community, but they are also always somehow different. A Tufa daughter, Bronwyn Hyatt, comes home a wounded hero from the Mid-East wars. She has changed and will bring changes.
Patrick Rothfuss said, “Imagine a book somewhere between American Gods and Faulkner.” That sums it up pretty succinctly I think.
