great
I have read this book so many times, I had to purchase a new one cause I wore out the first copy. The story of three girls in Covington, LA near New Orleans in the 1960's is profound, hilarious, and deeply moving. The author has written only this book and "ALmost Innocent". The book paints a picture of life in southern Louisiana that seems so real. The war in Vietnam and the futility of death...I had almost forgotten how much that war affected us. The section where one of the girls has to lie down in the kitchen and have recipes read to her...but only main dishes. The ones written by single ladies are too sad for her. What a riot. The picture of their lives is clear and gripping.
Sheila Bosworth has an incredible gift for evoking the sentiments and atmosphere of the deep south. I absolutely loved Almost Innocent which I believe was her first novel. I could not wait to dig into Slo Poison and I did enjoy it. However at times I felt it to be stylistcally overdone. There are passages that sound forced and the dialogue and reminiscences don't flow as naturally as they did in the first book, That said it is still a fine novel by a very talented writer.
I loved this book when I read it years ago and I love it again. If you like books with a sense of place this book is for you.
I am in awe of anyone who can write like this author. Funny, insightful, engaging. I am sorry that the book came to an end.
