Resumen del Editor
This snappy, sassy redemption story set in small-town Montana is "a wild and crazy debut novel by a talented young writer" (Jackie Collins), filled with an uproarious and unforgettable cast of characters you won't want to leave behind.
Welcome to Quinn, Montana, population: 956. A town where nearly all of the volunteer firemen are named Jim, where the Dirty Shame - the only bar in town - refuses to serve mixed drinks (too much work), where the locals hate the newcomers (then again, they hate the locals, too), and where the town softball team has never even come close to having a winning season. Until now.
Rachel Flood has snuck back into town after leaving behind a trail of chaos nine years prior. She's here to make amends, but nobody wants to hear it, especially her mother, Laverna. But with the help of a local boy named Jake and a little soul searching, she just might make things right.
In the spirit of Empire Falls and A League of Their Own, with the caustic wit of Where'd You Go, Bernadette thrown in for good measure, Richard Fifield's hilarious and heartwarming debut will have you laughing through tears.

Historia
After trying to help Benjamin Pearl, an undernourished, nearly feral 11-year-old boy living in the Montana wilderness, social worker Pete Snow comes face-to-face with the boy's profoundly disturbed father, Jeremiah. With courage and caution, Pete slowly earns a measure of trust from this paranoid survivalist itching for a final conflict that will signal the coming End Times. But as Pete's own family spins out of control, Pearl's activities spark the full-blown interest of the FBI, putting Pete at the center of a massive manhunt from which no one will emerge unscathed.

Lit follows Mary Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness - and her astonishing resurrection. Karr's longing for a solid family seems secure when her marriage to a handsome, Shakespeare-quoting poet produces a son they adore. But she can't outrun her apocalyptic past. She drinks herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide. A hair-raising stint in "The Mental Marriott" awakens her to the possibility of joy, and leads her to an unlikely faith.

There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities.

Historia
Summer 1995: Ten-year-old Joan, her mother, and her younger sister flee her father’s explosive temper and seek refuge at her mother’s ancestral home in Memphis. This is not the first time violence has altered the course of the family’s trajectory. Half a century earlier, Joan’s grandfather built this majestic house in the historic Black neighborhood of Douglass—only to be lynched days after becoming the first Black detective in the city. Joan tries to settle into her new life, but family secrets cast a longer shadow than any of them expected.

Her dad was off somewhere, gambling or "working." And Zippy was lost in her own fabulous world of exploring the fringes of Moorland, Indiana.

Welcome to the childhood of Catherine McClure Gildiner. It is the middle of the 1950s in Lewiston, New York, a small and sleepy American town very near Niagara Falls. No one is divorced. Mothers wear high heels to the beauty salon and children pop Pez candy and swing from vines over a local gorge. But at the tender age of four, it becomes clear to her Cathy's parents that their rambunctious daughter is no ordinary child and they soon put her "to work" at her father's pharmacy.

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

Historia
When Haven Kimmel was born in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of 300 people. Nicknamed "Zippy" for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In this witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period - people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards.

Most are set in his beloved Louisiana, many hard by or on the Mississippi River, others in North Carolina, and even in midwinter Minnesota. But generally it's heat, humidity, and bugs that beset his people as they wrestle with affairs of the heart, matters of faith, and the pros and cons of tight-knit communities.

She’s known in her tiny Montana town as Tough Tiff, and after her shoplifting arrest and a stint in a reform school, the nickname is here to stay. But when she comes back home, Tiffany may not be the same old Tough Tiff that everybody remembers.

I was not wow'ed
I bought this book because of the number of reviews where people were so impressed with the book, I was not. It wasn't that interesting. The plot seemed very unlikely. Some characters were underdeveloped but it seemed like we were supposed to have strong feelings for them.
I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend, or an enemy. I was disappointed, but I did finish the book.

I didn't want to like this book, but...
it hooked me and pulled me through to the end. The concept seemed sophomoric, and for a long time I didn't like any of the characters very much, but the plot just would not stop and I kept telling myself, "okay, one more chapter," because I really wanted to know what happened next.
Listening to The Flood Girls is in some ways like giving in to the worst kind of gossip. Or it's like watching a soap opera, but grittier than any soap opera yet written.
Kathleen Early's narration is great. Her inflections and crisp consonants are so female that every now and then I'd remember with a little snap of surprise that the author is a man.
And just when you think everyone has turned over a new leaf, it happens. In fewer than 500 words you realize that the story has been fooling you all along. It's not a soap opera at all, but an ancient Greek drama.
I expect more good good stories from Richard Fifield.

The characters!
I really couldn't have loved this book more. Get it. Moving, funny, real. And the narrator was excellent.

Great story, bad ending
Really should have had a better ending. It should have been played out more. It was disappointing for such a good and detailed story line.

Pleasant Surprise
I definitely did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. It is very well written and performed. I'm more of a political thriller and suspense fan. This book couldn't be any further from my usual taste but the reviews persuaded me. So glad I gave it a try.

The story was rich with sordid and faulted characters that I grew to love as each
The story was rich with sordid and faulted characters that I grew to love as each chapter was read. While many of the themes within the story were predictable, there were enough twists and one shocker that made it one of the best stories I have listened to in a long while. The narrator was the perfect choice for this story. She brought it to life and kept me interested in it.

"Flood Girls" is Funny, Moving & Novel; a page turner!
I LOVED THIS BOOK BECAUSE...Each relatable character is treated with respect & given a voice; innate abilities & flaws are gradually revealed. There are also characters with purely selfish motives & evil intent; those who manipulate & bully others to get what they want. These characters act against those who get in the way of their ultimate goals, & manufacture the support of dependents too weak to escape their influence & malice. Our heroine finds Love, formed by friendship & shared experiences. The climactic ending is healing & joyful, without forced closure.
