Summary: 


I haven't read the book yet, but plan to.  I recently read an interview
with the author which contained excerpts.  I think a lot of the interest
in the book stems from the rather unlikely background of Chute, as
authors go that is Based strictly on the excerpt she does seem to
have captured the people and environment of rural Maine and its poverty
extremely well.
