I love most things Jesmyn Ward writes, and this is no exception. The family at the heart of this book lives in rural Mississippi, and the threat of Hurricane Katrina is looming. The experiences of Esch, the only female in the family, are described in beautiful, relatable ways. I devoured this book, and wanted to know what would become of these vivid characters in their post-hurricane lives.
