Day 23 Minor Prophets



I am very glad to be reading Blair Harley’s novel of life in and life behind a religious cult in Michigan’s upper peninsula. 

Has anyone else heard of or read Hurley’s very much worth reading Minor Prophets?

Here’s a clip of one review from Kirkus:

Hurley captures the area's harsh natural beauty in glorious prose, providing the reader some respite in a novel with very few points of light. The visceral descriptions of the cult’s survival techniques... draw the reader into the dark, insular world hidden among the trees. Hurley’s writing is beguiling, working analogously to the rhetoric of the cult ... This is a deeply intimate novel, capturing what is in essence a survivor’s tale
