A little family road trip from and to Hell

Odessa by Jonathan Hill

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I stole this part of the review from Goodreads/François Vigneault: “Odessa is the first long chapter in a sumptuously-drawn post-apocalyptic tale following the journey of teenager Virginia Crane.” That does not seem “steal worthy” but it starts my feelings of this book.
