A review by savaging
Mink River by Brian Doyle

4.0

There is so much to love about this book. A humble magical realism, where a dirty seaside town includes an over-loquacious crow, a helpful bear, and a human who can smell pain.

A star knocked off for so much 'grinning.' Everyone's always grinning, like we're in a Manic Pixie Dream Village. Also Doyle seems to have a kind of conservative bent regarding cops and abortion and the New Testament.
