Miss Jane by Brad Watson

4.0

The storytelling aspect here was nostalgic for me and comforting. I found myself relating these characters to my grandparents. I have an affinity towards birds, especially peacocks, because of them and grew up on their farm. The diction and daily habits were very real to me. As this is a book about simple country life, I found the writing style to be both rich and raffish. I at once disliked the informality and incomplete sentences and appreciated the purposeful choice to construct them in this way. I also always enjoy learning something new, especially when it’s an “odd” truth of humanity.
