A review by ernby
Heat and Light by Jennifer Haigh

5.0

Based on its description, I never would have picked this book up and chosen to read it. Something about the review for the Book of the Month club drew me to it, though, and I'm so glad I picked it. On the surface, the book is about drilling for oil in Pennsylvania; at least, it's what ties everyone in the book together. But what it's really about is the characters--how they're connected, what they see, think, feel. I loved getting to know them. I also really enjoyed Haigh's writing style. I look forward to reading more from her.
