I really enjoyed this, the characters and twists and turns were all delightfully intriguing. Surprising while still believable (magically and hauntingly believable). The historical and sociological aspects of the novel contribute so much to this believability and add that subcontextual commentary that I so enjoy discussing and ruminating on after the fact. Small towns and all the challenges that come with living within, with, outside, and despite the socioeconomic, class, racial, and other such structures that are so prevalent within them....especially when they are ancient and deep.
