The Bone People by Keri Hulme
5.0

I borrowed this book from a friend on her reccommendation. It is now, hands down, in my top five favorite books list. After I returned my friend's copy, I went and bought my own. I didn't write a review as soon as I finished because I want to read it again to really be able to marshall my thoughts, but I still haven't gotten to a re-read, and I wanted to at least put in my rating for it, so here's a non-review just to say it is amazing. It gets dark, it is full of light, it has some dry humor, it has some hints of surrealism, it has a beautiful voice, it is from New Zealand, and you should read it.
