The Beet Queen

Oh gosh, another great book. It's interesting; this, Tracks, and Love Medicine are very different in some ways, and yet they all had the same lovely style of prose. It's obvious they are by the same author, and yet she's not confined at all to any one “type” of book, even though she's writing about the same families of characters.

I don't have anything smart to say, except that it is gorgeous and sad and hopeful and you should pretty much go read it, and her other books, right now.
