"The Sweet Hereafter"

Just finished this book "The Sweet Hereafter", by Russell Banks, and holy crap, this book was amazing. Told from four perspectives, a bit like Rashoman, the story unfolds, in a sort of quasi-linear way through the four voices. Set in the Adirondacks, the story also gives a deep description of rural life and personae. Good stuff, highly recommend, curious about the movie.

Thanks to flynote.com/lisleetha for the recommendation.

Yes, it is truly amazing. Glad you liked it. 'The Sweet Here after,' the film, in on my Netflix list. I'll let you know how it is, if you don't see it before me.

oh dip, I just read that this book actually takes place in northern new hampshire, not the Adironacks. maybe this is why I did so bad on the reading comprehension section of the PSAT's.
