Love & Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere by Poe Ballantine
5.0
I can't pinpoint why I loved this book, but I do. Ballantine's writing is warm and descriptive with just enough flourish to make you take a step back now and then to go back over a paragraph to dwell on the words.
Yes this is a story about a real tragedy, but it's mostly a story about a man and his life and his adopted home town, his wife and his son. There is no real conclusion, and it's good to know that going in. It's a very readable slice of life, and this slice winds up in 300 some pages.
