A review by krobart
A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano

2.0

The novel is well written but not evocative. It does not evoke the 60′s South, and my feeling is that it does not evoke Flannery O’Connor. I am not an expert on her or her life, but the incisive spirit I would expect from her is missing in this character. Napolitano uses O’Connor’s peacocks to great effect, but I found that the novel tidied things up a bit more neatly than I would expect from one inspired by O’Connor’s life and works.
