This book in beautifully written and wonderfully told. The prose flows. There's an uncomfortable juxtaposition of the rape of Joe's mother, and Joe's own views on women, just beginning to form, but I found that it was handled quite well.
This was a book club read, and I was glad for the opportunity to read it (especially to read it with my friends!)
