Another great Ann Patchett novel about family, race, religion, and politics. A well written and a complexly woven story that reveals itself in a 24 hr timeline. Loved the pacing throughout the novel, and I got a lot out of reading it over the first snow of the year. Wish that the end was a little longer as really wraps up very quickly/simply, though but that’s really in line with her style… 

Reading it at the same time as “A Court of Thorns and Roses” may have inflated the rating to almost a 5 star read. Reading ACTOAR but with Ann Patchett’s masterful storytelling could be interesting…

ALSO this audiobook SUCKS, there’s weird music interludes that interrupt the entire narrative and yanked me right out of the story. bad bad bad.
