A story of the lives of three women, tightly woven together and surviving the harsh societal environment of an Appalachian mining town in the early to mid-1900s. Two religions contrast with each... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The entire concept of this book seems to be that horrible things happen in life and then you die. The story pace was glacially slow. To call the characters one-dimensional is a compliment. Irrelevant backstories abound. There are a ton of unnecessary and over-long descriptions. Most disappointingly, the story doesn't have an end. The end of the book could have functioned just as well as the end of a chapter. There is no overarching theme or plot to the book which makes the whole thing feel unnecessary.
