Query: very good debut

This was a very good debut. It reminded me at timesofTwain, and at other times of Lewis Nordan. Sad and tragic, yet funny in a dry way. The cast of characters range from the depraved to the endearing.Some of the peripheral charcters were my favorite. The setting was beautiful. I could see and feel this novel. I would recommend it.
