a 3-3.5 star first half and a 4.5-5 star second half. love its use of narrative perspective, love poppy, took a bit to warm up to august but once i reached that halfway point i was just as invested in her story as any other.
even managed to make white man greenleaf likable considering what he did.
winch was on fire in the final stages of the book, it's like you could see everything crumbling, like you could feel her rage on the paper. brilliant novel. deserves a re-read, maybe i'll like the first half more on 2nd read.
