Crazy Ladies by Michael Lee West

4.0

This was my second West book within a month and even though I only checked it out because the book I wanted wasn't around and I couldn't think of anything else to get, I'm glad I did. This is the kind of book you read while somebody else drives and you have 10 minutes in the car. You have five minutes in a checkout line, so you read some of it. Thirty minutes before bed is plenty of time to learn more and more about the Crazy Ladies of Crystal Falls, Tennessee. A paragraph here, a chapter there. The point of view style was frustratingly wonderful. I became a little upset at how closely I identified with Dorothy for awhile. I read this book during family holiday gatherings when I should have been spending time with loved ones, or minding children, or both. Great book, great author. I'll read everything else she's written.
