Amity & Sorrow
Amity & Sorrow: A Novel | Peggy Riley
2 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
A mother and her daughters drive for days without sleep until they crash their car in rural Oklahoma. The mother, Amaranth, is desperate to get away from someone she's convinced will follow them wherever they go--her husband. The girls, Amity and Sorrow, can't imagine what the world holds outside their father's polygamous compound. Rescue comes in the unlikely form of Bradley, a farmer grieving the loss of his wife. At first unwelcoming to these strange, prayerful women, Bradley's abiding tolerance gets the best of him, and they become a new kind of family. An unforgettable story of belief and redemption, AMITY & SORROW is about the influence of community and learning to stand on your own.

First trip to Half Price on a big coupon weekend. Found 2 I'd been wanting to read, 1 surprise, plus one recommended by Roxane Gay - Reading Like a Writer, and a hardcover of a favorite - Station Eleven.

Amity and Sorrow are two sisters and with their mother they are running away from their father and his cult..
The book's pacing is very slow and most of the characters are unlikeable, but I really enjoyed some of the themes Peggy Riley dealt with and her style.
