This won the National Book Award? It's a well-written novel, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't seem good enough to have won.
Short scenes, almost short-attention-span writing. Instead of making the novel fast paced, it seemed to jerk the reader around. Lots of details were left out. The war that is at the center of the novel made no sense when told this way. Why did they go to war? I still don't know, and I don't think the question was ever answered.
She does write a good scene, even if they are extremely short, almost flash fiction.
