An absolutely fantastic read. Supernatural elements aside, this story really does an amazing job in portaying Jim crow Era 1950 and all the tragedy and injustice done. We truly don't need a horror element further than that...but I loved the Haints.

4.5 Stars.
I very nearly stopped reading by about chapter 9. When some of the supernatural elements took hold, it made things less "real" for me (but be not confused: this is a very raw/intense story) which made it easier for me to read. This is a tough book and I imagine that many people simply will not have the emotional fortitude to get all the way through and that's okay. For those that do, this is a fantastic story. On all the particulars, there are plenty of smart people who have reviewed this book better than me. Read this book if you have the stomach for it.
