    “She’s so good in this. Didion pulls the political thread from a part of the country Elizabeth Hardwick described as having more in common with the Caribbean than the American South. There are long sentences that click along and somehow pile up into a clean thesis. As a Floridian in Washington, it’s fascinating to consider the political weight that Florida has carried for decades now.”
