i'm not sure how i feel including this in my "summer of missed classics" jag, because out of all of my goodreads.com friends, NO ONE has read it, so it's not really in the same league as Pride and Prejudice or Notes from Underground, where it was just me who had skipped 'em. still, it's a book i've always meant to read, but hadn't gotten around to until now. that being said—it should have been read by all of my goodreads.com friends, real or faking it. it is an amazing piece of writing that gives me everything that i like out of a novel: family secrets, missed opportunities, misunderstandings and tragically bad timing. so it's like my beloved hardy, but in the american south and a little darker, racially. its your summer, too—read it.
