Under the Rainbow by Celia Laskey

5.0

 

What an incredible book. Celia Laskey writes with such generosity of spirit and at the same time pulls no punches. She recognizes her characters' flaws and foibles and draws them lovingly, even when they're not the most likeable of people. The way she manages to tell the story of a whole small town over two years through just a few voices - each unique and entirely belonging to its own person - is truly astonishing.
