The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon

4.0

A portrait of a small community. A street. Where very ordinary people and their very ordinary habits actually hide deep secrets. I like the structure of the book- from the point of view of young girls, who are going around door to door looking for god. Some of the childish observations were LOL worthy. Some poetic. By going to each neighbor’s house, the girls discover damaged sad and stuck realities. What is there to look forward to?
My favorite part was when they visited the gardener. But then- there was the ending that didn’t fit the book. Sadly, many wonderful books end up with a slapped on ending.
