Customer Reviews

Southern grit lit at its best

David Joy is an excellent writer. The Weight of the World involves mother, her son and his best friend. Modern times with modern time problems. Drugs, lack of work, hurtful secrets. But the ending even outs the novel. Highly recommend this book. You wont forget it.
