The writing reminded me of William Faulkner's writing style: very, very poor itinerant folks who are uneducated but not ignorant. They live the only life they've known with no idea of how to improve their lives. Each day is a struggle to find food and shelter and avoid danger. The story between Doll and Lila is heartfelt and loving and yet you sense that all will not end well for either of them. Lila finds John to love her and protect her, yet one has the sense all the way through the story that Lila might just disappear from his life any day. It would have been easier to read if the story had been parceled into chapters. It was somewhat grueling to read.
