Life Is Short But Wide by J. California Cooper

2.0

This was a character study, but to me, it jumped so quickly from character to character that I never felt fully involved with any of them. I read the entire book, as I wanted to see what happened to several of the characters. The setting was Oklahoma at the beginning of the 20th century, and the book covered the better part of the 1900's.

I rather liked the author's voice, but just had trouble connecting to the characters in the way I like.
This was the September selection for one of the fiction book clubs to which I belong.
