Every single minute I spent with this book was delightful. The humor was so fresh, so original, that not a line felt forced. The images were all fresh, the metaphors original, and the characters wonderful. The narrator, Jess, was so real and alive that I was convinced that author and character were one and the same. It's a about a woman whose stinking, lying, no-good cheating husband just ups one morning and walks out on her, leaving her with two children, a pen full of chickens and no job. I went to sleep last night with just one chapter to go, and discovered that I was so upset about the way her husband was treating her that I had trouble sleeping. But she weathered her difficulties with such huge aplomb and heart and humor that I almost stood on the bed and cheered when she had the happy ending coming to her. A Thirst For Rain
