Sara Will

This is a wonderful novel. While Bridgers is better known for her young adult literature, this novel reaches many generations. Sara Will is an old woman, set in her ways, who finds herself when she takes new people into her life. Bridgers is an excellent character writer with an outstanding talent for detail. A large portion of this book takes place in winter, in an ice storm. I was reading it in the heat of summer, but lost track of the month and felt like I was there, in the North Carolina mountains, with Sara Will, Swannee Hope, and the others. Great book by a great author!
