The Displacements was a disappointment. Every step of the way I had to suspend belief to buy into the story. It is hard to believe that Holisnger has any personal experience with poverty, or raising a family. There were some many ways this went south...the lost purse, the disappearing nasty father, the grandmother's magical reappearance, the drug dealing. I will be interested to see the reception when it is published. Contrived, unbelievable and manipulative. I like to be moved by a novel, manipulation is another thing.
