Not something I would normally pick up and read for fun, since it is far out of my usual genres, but One Foot in Eden was very good. I suppose it helped to motivate me to read this that I have met Ron Rash and this was the book he signed for me. I read this and kept in the back of my mind to pay attention to his style and how he accomplished things, since Ron Rash was on of the authors we focused on in my last creative writing class. I really liked how he told parts of the same story from the points of view of different characters. I think this structure really kept the novel interesting. If you like Southern Gothic, I highly recommend this book. And, even if you don't, I recommend it anyway, especially if you're wanting to write anything. A great read.
