Title: um, delia? where are you?
Review: Have you ever been at a party and struck up a conversation with a stranger, who proceeds to tell you something intensely personal, possibly even his or her whole sad life story? The end result, of course, is that you don't know this person any better than you did before. You have learned a lot of personal details, but the individual remains a complete stranger. This is CAVEDWELLER in a nutshell. All these characters, all these details...but who are these people? For Christ's sake, make me care about them! No such luck. Still, I'm looking forward to D. Allison's next book. After all, BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA was in no way a fluke.
