Idaho 9780701189099 Books
I really struggled with how to rate this book. It is absolutely beautiful lyrical book. It felt,at times, like I was reading a poem, rather than a novel. I loved the alternating chapters with the different characters, even if it took me a few beats to try to figure out whose eyes we were looking through now. I loved that the characters were not perfect, that Ann had a previous crush that suggested she had some underlying psychological issues. I loved reading this book. I spent the whole time trying to figure out the mystery, formulating theories, sure there was much more going on that was to be revealed, trusting that if invested in these characters and this story, that there would be a payoff...and yet I was left with nothing. There were no answers at the end. For some people this might be fine, but I felt betrayed. Perhaps if I had read this as part of a book club, it would have been easier because I could have discussed it immediately with others and found some resolution, but I did not, and as a result, I felt adrift and frustrated.Product details

Idaho 9780701189099 Books Reviews
This is one of the better novels I have read in a while. Great descriptions of characters' emotions. Some chapters that would stand on their own as a great short story. Reading the thoughts of of a man losing his memory, and slowly passing felt like having those thoughts myself. Powerful stuff, perhaps not for the very faint heart-ed. The ending is complete, THEIR story is over.
Having read the authors explanation of her choices, her thought process and intentions make sense; however, the execution resulted in a book that felt pointless. She didn't succeed in creating the connections that she was trying to convey. Her understanding of her characters and their relationships are interesting and well thought-out but did not make it into the pages of her book. It's too bad really. The concept, coupled with her perceptions of her characters, would have made for a great book.
Ahaunting debut novel about life and death, love and memory, holding on and letting go. While the plot turns on one violent act, the act itself is never described directly. Instead, Emily Ruskovich approaches it from many different angles at many different spots on the timeline, a bit like trying to approach a wild animal without scaring it away. The result is a multifaceted exploration of loss that will stick with me for a very, very long time.
Ruskovich manages to write a very literary novel that is also a stay-up-all-night page-turner, which is an extraordinary feat. I will absolutely be buying her next novel, whenever it appears.
A friend recommended this book, and I'll admit that being from Idaho I was apprehensive. But there was no need because I LOVED it. From the incredibly descriptive and visual passages, to the simple yet incredibly honest and moving moments, I could not put this book down. I'm an avid reader, but not an avid reviewer, nevertheless I would not hesitate to recommend this book. Read it. You'll be doing yourself a favor.
I think this is a book you either love or hate. I felt the author’s writing was exemplary. The symbolism brought every small detail to life, whether it was the description of the dog following the young girl’s scent or the delivery of the pigs; I was drawn in by every word. I would have given the book 5 stars if there had been some resolution at the end. I wanted to understand Jenny’s action that changed the course of everything (will spare details for those who haven’t read the book), but the book ended leaving that burning question (center to the entire novel) unanswered. Nevertheless, I will read more by this writer just to experience the lyricism of her work.
This is one of the most beautifully written books I have read in a long time. It is at the same time one of the most depressing.
From the very beginning, the reader is reeled in to a mystery -- the murder of a child by her mother. The mystery is never definitely answered but along the way the characters are so diverse and interesting that you want the best for them in the face of serious doubt that things will turn out well.
This is a murder mystery, but it is so beautifully written by someone who truly understands that there are rarely simple explanations for such events. The book felt more like a psychological drama than a suspenseful murder mystery.
