Why read it?

1 author picked The Heavenly Table as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is in a category all its own, and I love it.

It's so dark sometimes, it's painful to read. That’s what makes it great to me. Three men, brothers, fight for a hard-scrabble life, and they don’t always take the high road. At times, it feels like an adventure novel.

At other times, it felt like I might need to take a shower after reading—it’s that gritty. But it’s so unique, so well-constructed, so unlike anything else, I couldn’t stop reading it.
