A review by mattstebbins
Dalva by Jim Harrison

2.0

I wanted to like this, I did. Especially as it was on loan from a friend who had considered Jim Harrison a friend. For that reason, I worked on this intermittently for a couple of months. Yet...I just couldn't get into it. I can't deny Harrison's talents as a writer; some passages and phrases were quite beautiful, and I think the characters were well-developed as far as I made it. The problem was that I couldn't connect with the story, and couldn't get invested in it.

Oh, and I've never liked Nebraska.

[2 stars for character development and for pastoral descriptions, even if this wasn't the book for me.]
