Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh, 306 pages
This book came to me both highly recommended and from the best seller shelf so it had a lot to live up to. Not only was it able to live up to the hype but it is one of those books that sticks in your mind.
Weight of Blood takes place in the rural Ozark mountains here in Missouri. It is about a girl name Lucy and her mother Lila growing up a generation apart.
It is hard to go into any detail without giving anything away but this is a very intense novel. I would also highly recommend it.
