Robert (USA: CA) (2023/06/27):
T. R. Pearson's Neely, NC has more eccentrics than it has normal citizens and even the normal citizens act a little oddly at times. And Pearson has nicely captured rural North Carolina's rich use of language and turns of phrase. However, the young narrator digresses in his recounting of the fall of Neely's most prominent family so often, the book became tiresome for me. I wish there had of been a more straightforward plot and a tighter focus on the narrator and his beloved Momma and Daddy. Still, there are many standout moments of beauty and laugh-out-loud humor in this gentle look at small town Southern life in the early to mid 20th century.
