4.0

Ward's distinctive literary style shines here. She conveys complex characters and themes that wouldn't work without her flowing song-like writing. A challenging read in that it challenges the reader to think deeper (on the history of Mississippi, the complexities of addiction and "likeable characters" and so much more)
