The fact that the author had to write a really quite long essay at the end to 'explain' things is not a good sign. She insists, for example, that it wasn't that easy for the narrator to just leave town - but it was - it just wouldn't have helped the plot. It really all came down to none of the characters behaving convincingly for their time or place or doing anything an actual person might do. On the plus side, it's not quite as bad as that Crawdads nonsense, even if it was going for its tone - and audience.
