Hanna Who Fell from the Sky by Christopher Meades

3.0

I'll read anything set in a polygamist sect, but the story veered in strange, otherworldly directions that felt jarring and unnecessary. Writing a semi-realistic fable is hard work and when done right, it has enormous payoffs for the reader (see The Bear and the Nightingale, a favorite of mine). This, though, was too weakly conceived to reach real coherence.
