We Live in Water: Stories de Jess Walter
If you like short stories, these are some his best.
Two brothers, trying to keep their heads above water, searching for work in the tumult of the early twentieth century. Walter presents a story of love and longing amidst poverty and riches, graft and kindness.
I think this one should be a 3.5 star but since I liked more than I disliked I'll err on the high side.
The beginning is great, it gets a little slow, and the ending is rushed. Overall, it's an interesting story with many different angles. What we were given was very good, but I wanted (and still want) to know more about each person and each of the angles.
