I read Three Junes and thought it was sweet and well-plotted, but it didn't stay with me or anything. So I when I picked up The Whole World Over, my expectations weren't particularly high. I'm not saying it's a literary masterpiece or anything (I think there was one major character too many), but the characters are well-fleshed out and realistic, the locations are pitch-perfect, and it kept me wanting more. For where I'm at right now, it was an unexpected treat.
