The Coffins of Little Hope by Timothy Schaffert

4.0

An odd but effecting book. The author has a real gift for visual imagery and the characters he's crafty are quirky and endearing without becoming boondocks eccentrics mired in their own folksiness. I appreciated how the main story was told by telling many many side stories-though this penchant for fascinating tangents could occasionally become confusing. Also the story acknowledges and observes its dark places at times but never wallows or exploits them. I finished the book with an odd sense of nostalgia--like having visited a small town in which i had some interesting cousins that I finally got to catch up with.
