Review title: Not for grammar mavens.
Product review: I'm afraid I didn't finish this novel because it was very gratingly written in dialect. The whole thing, without pause. Even descriptions, even people's thoughts. If cutesy dialect-writing gets on your nerves, don't order this.I couldn't bear the precious writing style long enough to finish it. Somehow, as a bluecollar Southerner, I felt condescended to with all those "she done"s. You know, even the crackeriest cracker isn't quite that bad, particularly people the age of the mother & daughter characters, who have actually attended high school (I could understand it more for the grandmother character, but ALL THREE CHARACTERS HAVE THE SAME VOICE with the SAME grammar quirks). I worked in a food stamp office in South Carolina for nine years and I never met anyone quite that unintelligible. We're not that quaint, honey; sometimes our verbs even agree. Honestly! Give this a miss unless you enjoyed Uncle Remus.
