I enjoyed the book in general. I thought there could have been a little more resolution in the ending. The chapters relating the "newspaper heading" type narrative gave context to the story, but became a little tiresome. The manner of speech took some getting used to. Ma was my favourite character as I felt she was the strongest and the only one actively trying to keep the family together. I liked that there were uplifting characters and situations sprinkled throughout the book instead of the story containing all desolation and then having a heart-lifting ending. The story was about the strength (and weakness) of the human spirit and I felt that was what was conveyed.
