Read this last month, so my review will suffer from my currently hamster-like memory for books. But I liked it! Enough that I brought it along to a reunion with grad school friends to pass it along to one of them. This is a family drama, but I mean that in an expansive way. Coster's characters are fully imagined: they have strengths to admire and weaknesses that made me cringe in sympathy and recognition. The ties that bind and support are also the ones that constrain, portrayed against the complicated backdrop of racism in the American South.
