The Turner House

Very impressive first novel by this young writer. The story is compelling, the dialog and the characters ring true.

The book is a little scattered as it covers two long generations of this large family. I think some of the subplots could have been reined in and tightened up. The book seemed just a bit too long.

Still, the story is satisfying and is unlike anything else I've read. I look forward to reading her next novel!
