A review by kbuchanan
The Robber Girl by Franny Billingsley

3.0

There is some truly lovely writing in this novel, and Billingsley's strange imagined, Western-tinged world is a fascinating one. Still, this novel's hard edges and relentless melancholy presented some challenges for motivation as well as some befuddlement as to any source of appeal for younger readers. Quirky and different, but ultimately a bit of a dark horse.
