"Wow, what a powerful novel. I have to say I think this is the most heartrending novel I've ever read. Definitly a must read for anyone who enjoys powerful writing. Not a beach read! In one sentence this book is about unrequited injustice. Get ready to feel sick!"
"This book feels almost epic in the sense that it does span three generations, though it is focussed mainly on the third. Lyle tells his story to Mr. Terrieux who saved 16 yr old Matthew Pit from drowning. The events of Lyle's life happened because Mat Pit survived and his actions subsequently impacted Lyle's family.
It's the story of poverty, comparing poverty of money and poverty of love. It is utterly tragic in so many ways, even though there's always the glimmer of hope, the belief that the hero(s) will rise up against the bad guys. How heroes rise, how bad guys fall, is also a focus of the story.
It's easy, yet spellbinding prose that keeps you reading effortlessly. The characters seem to be caricatures, yet you can't but realize (and sorrow for this) that they are not caricatures and that people like this really exist."
