Mill Town

Kerri Arsenault's memoir feels deeply personal. I'm curious whether her own experiences shaped the narrative or if she aimed for a more detached journalistic approach.

The book balances respect for the community with highlighting its struggles. It made me wonder how the author navigated these tensions while writing.

Blending history with memoir gave the narrative depth, but I wonder if that was a conscious choice to emphasize the long-term impact of industry on the town.
