Review of 'Atomic farmgirl' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This book tried to be too many things at once: was it a kitschy memoir dripping with mid-century Americana, a brief history of white settlers displacing the native inhabitants of the Palouse, or an exposé covering the health impacts of radiation from Hanford on Eastern Washington residents? I can't say, as it didn't particularly succeed at any of the above. Going in I'd hoped to read stories that focused on the latter, but the bulk of the book comprised rambling family anecdotes that failed to hold my attention.
