Mama's madness, miscarriage make misfortune

Tomato Girl
Jayne Pupek

My latest review for the mighty Pajiba had me tackling Jayne Pupek's Tomato Girl. This novel provides a disturbing look at one girl's introduction to womanhood -- an introduction that comes all too soon, precipitated by the madness around her.

Kindly click here to read my thoughts on this compelling novel. After the review, stop by Jayne Pupek's blog, which I just found while snatching a jpeg of Tomato Girl's cover.

In a nutshell: Disturbing, engrossing, and fast-paced, Tomato Girl is the perfect complement for the fall season.

Bibliolatry Scale: 5 out of 6 stars
