Crooked Hallelujah

This book is really, really good. The end reminds me of Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God. I recommend this to anyone struggling to continue moving through climate anxiety or generational trauma. I love a multigenerational novel. ❤️ This one packs quite a punch in just ~300 pages.

An impressive debut. Although it feels (at timeS) like a slow read for such a short book. The POV changes often, but I only needed to get my bearings a couple of times. But at those times, there were some considerable jumps in time and place that felt like, if it was a TV series, I'd missed a couple of crucial episodes -- maybe even a season. Though still impressive that it covers so much time in so few pages.
With 4 generations of Cherokee women, and 2 of them being main characters, only 1 of them felt fully fleshed out and developed.
