What's the buzz?

Lovely Dark Deep is one of the more recently published Pulitzer titles on our list and it's still making quite a buzz. We turned to the boards at Goodreads to see what people had to say about it.

Reading this is like savoring several mini flutes of extravagant yet extremely diverse wines. :)

Why do I read JCO? 
Because she sizes me up, gouges my heart out, fillets it, and chomps it down. 
Because it is her heart, too. 

They are tragic, emotional, and realistic examples of life and suffering. That's what makes them so frightening because you can see yourself (or a family member/friend) living through the subject matter of each story.
