Description
Tawni O'Dell's compelling and engrossing novels tend to be set in Pennsylvania mining towns, which are practically treated as characters in her tales. She has a gift for depicting their bleak and hardscrabble social and emotional dynamics that give her novels such a strong sense of place. Her characters are finely drawn, eccentric, and believable, and their stories often revolve around dysfunctional family relationships, secrets, emotional turmoil, and trauma. However, she presents a range of emotion -- from debilitating grief to transcendent joy. Her writing is crisp and beautiful and her humor plentiful and black. Start with: Fragile beasts
