acg233 's review for:
The Enchanted
by Rene Denfeld
If you loved [book:The Green Mile|11566], you will love this.
Unsure about what the novel was about before going in, I was blown away by a) the plot b) the beautiful lyricism of the writing c) the gentle tug of curiosity toward the reveal at the end and d) the magical realism/mental health descriptions that Rene Denfeld.
The characters were so well-built, even those unnamed or described only in 3rd person. Each character seems to represent a viewpoint or vision related to these death-row inmates: the lawyer, the family member, the victim's families, the inmates themselves, the wardens, the guards, the priest, and more. Their viewpoints, so beautifully crafted, are tragic and heart-rending.
Ahh, just so good.
