Serena by Ron Rash

5.0

This is by far the best book I have read all year. I am a little late to the party, but man, this book. It grabbed me by the lapels and did not let go. The story is set in the 1930’s, during the height of the lumber and logging industry in North Carolina. This book is not for the faint of heart. It shows you man’s capability for extreme exploitation, cruelty and heartlessness. Yet I could not look away.
