This novel strongly put me in mind of the trend of Southern mid-Atlantic literary fiction (specifically the Carolinas novels of the illustrious Anne Rivers Siddons). Although on the surface it might appear to be a typical rebellious still coming of age in adulthood ("I want to be my self, not what my daddy/granddaddy/ancestral lineage demand) narrative, it takes up some issues with irretrievably consequences, and unlike many novels, demonstrates character evolution and hopefulness.
