A review by angie_reading
In Zanesville by Jo Ann Beard

Voice! What a fabulous voice! I love, love, love (!) the writing. The downside: this fabulous voice lacks a meaty story to tell; This sweet little coming-of-age novel trails along a meandering plot that doesn't gain much momentum. A solid 3.5. I liked it, but it requires a reader who cares about the lyricism of the writing more than a good story.
