This book the National Book Award. I appreciated reading what might be called 'spoken dialect' of the characters. If only the slaughtering of the goat for food had been placed later in the book, after establishing the characters more deeply within their living situation. I stopped reading at pg 50. I had given the story a fair enough chance. West also won National Book Award for a previous book. Salvage the Bones
