I found this book quite compelling, as it covers depression through the eyes of a teenager who has to come to terms with her mother changing. In addition, there is also an underlying tension around race that is never quite resolved as it should not in the 1970s. However, the ending is possibly just a little convenient in spite of being quite horrible.
Incredible book. Told from the voice of a thirteen-year-old in short chapters with stunningly simple description of the breakdown of a family, the rebuild, and the breakdown, once again. The narrator's voice is both that of a child and adult, and even ifyou've never been through what she's been through, you can feel it like it's happening to you. Excellent book.
