Our book club really enjoyed the collection of short stories in Bad Dirt by Annie Proulx.

We all remarked on how well the author captures the atmosphere in each story. Proulx’s descriptive writing makes it easy to visualize the settings and scenes, and at times you almost feel as though you are part of the story itself.

Overall, it was an engaging and easy read that sparked good discussion in our group. 

Our rating 4 1/2 of 5
