Summary
Truman Capote's first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South.
At the age of 12, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully's Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face - and heart - of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.

Brilliance
This book and what others call strange transported me to bliss. Such beautiful writing and an ability to express thought and emotion so originally. Cody Robert’s narration deserves an award.

Very good narration
A strange story which I did not find hugely engaging. Great sense of deep south. Powerful characterisation.

Contains descriptions of animal cruelty.
I decided to stop listening after a few chapters as the incidences of casual animal cruelty woven through the story were quite disturbing.

A novel of two halves
It’s beautifully written and performed. The first half is excellent and then it turns a little surreal. Perhaps a Deep South story is really a kind of mythic tale, a journey out of reality into an “other” world. Intriguing.

Strange, poetic, grotesque
Engaging and intriguingly strange. Narrator has a beautiful voice but read at times, as if one sentence ran into the next.
