What’s it about?

Highs n lows
No one writes the pain and disappointment of life like Mosely. His writing is raw emotion. Every word jumps off the page and rips into your head, imprinting every ache, every leaden disappointment of each character in your mind.
We’re used to him dealing easily with the harsh realities of life, but here Mosely reveals the depths of his credentials by making the Blues sing out to you from the page. Read it for a harsh slice of American life, and for just a taste of the Blues.
Is it any good?
