The Antidote by Karen Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A major undertaking by Karen Russell. I knew practically nothing about the Dust Bowl and I really enjoyed this story set in a fictional town. I liked each of the characters and their unique perspective. I liked how visual and all around immersed the reader became in the story, it was a full five-sense experience to read it. I really enjoyed the touch of magical realism as well, what a unique and lovely way to bring some history into the story. Excellent book.
