News from Heaven: The Bakerton Stories by Jennifer Haigh
4.0
I won this book as a FirstRead.
I really enjoyed this collection of short stories about residents in the mining town of Bakerton, Pennsylvania. I had not read her previous book about the residents of Bakerton, but it was not needed to enjoy this book. After reading this book, though, I would love to go back and read the first.
I loved the way the stories fit together to show the town's history, though each story was about a different person. It would be hard to pick a favorite story; they were all quite good.
