I loved it. It's a blending of Appalachia's present and its past, of the truth behind folk songs and the way the present often echoes the past. I love how all the characters lives intersect, how they interact with each other. Of course, maybe I just love stories about Appalachia. I didn't know where to shelve it though, it's not a mystery, but it is; it's not a ghost story, but the ghost is important. I will definitely read more of the Ballad Novels.

slow start but picks up toward half way through. clever and plays out like a movie.
