A Good Animal by Sara Maurer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a quiet and sad story beautifully told. It’s about farming and family and sacrifice and lives that we have and lives that we wish we had. The writing is beautiful and the characters are well-developed. The farming is also so vividly portrayed and almost a character of its own in this incredible debut.
It’s also a glimpse in life so if you’re waiting for some major revelation or big ending, it will leave you disappointed. It’s quiet and sad and deep all at once. The narration is also beautiful and really true to the spirit of the story.
with gratitude to netgalley and macmillian audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
