Crooked Hallelujah

I took my time with this as each chapter feels like its own story. Overall the book is a tale of three generations of women in one family and the many, almost apocalyptic things that happen to them. The great strength the women in this novel have, it astounded me and made me think of the women in my own family. There is, under the surface in each of these chapters, a great current of hope- hope that things will get better and/or the right partner has been chosen. The only thing the reader is left knowing with absolute certainty is that this mother and daughter love each other so very much and that was refreshing to read about.
