terragoes 's review for:

American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land by Monica Hesse

4.0

I vaguely remember hearing about these fires and have driven through the area where they took place a few times. It was neat to read about something so close to home, in such a unique and rural place. The story is well-told, the writing is good and occasionally cheeky and overall, I really enjoyed reading this.
