A review by baypot
Alone in the Classroom by Elizabeth Hay

4.0

I stumbled upon this book in the true crime section of a used bookstore in Texas. Because of this, I was disoriented by its regionalism and tone at first. Once I realized this was a NOVEL, I breathed easier and settled into its poetry. Hay's cadence is unique, and her phrasing can catch a reader off guard. This was something else I settled into as I read. I ultimately ended up reading the whole book in 24hours, and desperately wishing it would never end. This is a lovely, lovely book.
