I really loved the feel of this, as I often do with Allen's books (which is notable because as a setting, the Deep South isn't my favorite). As soon as I started, I just felt drawn in, and every time I put it down I was excited to pick it up again. The typos were almost shocking, though--toe-headed instead of tow-headed, reality where it was supposed to be realty, protien, Marliee (supposed to be Marilee). And the tenses were off, past often used where it should have been past perfect. Just really jarring moments in a story that I otherwise loved.
