I'm a little convinced now and maybe this time I'll check it out.

I agree, Miggery’s character was tragic. I do want to try some of her other books, though, so thanks for the recommendation.

Also, I found the character of Miggery to be so tragic as to be almost too painful. That was teh darkest part of the book, I felt. I enjoyed the book, but not as much as I loved her Tiger Rising.

It was the perfect activity for the entire family to make a 12-hour drive from Virginia to Alabama enjoyable. I'd still like to read the print version, though.
