Full Body Burden connects on a personal level.
Most everyone can identify with having a family or at least a group of special
people in their lives. The first chapter made me reflect on my childhood and
remember for example what it was like to ride in the back seat of my parents
car, driving to my old house. Was this Iversen’s intention? To make the reader
remember simpler times? Kristen’s home town sounds similar in many ways to the
small towns back home.
The plant looms
over the town in a silent manor, hiding a secret. Everyone can see the plant, but knowing it’s secrets is another ordeal. Being a worker there
must be torturous. Not only is it dangerous, but you can’t tell anyone about
what you are doing. Conversations like the common “how was work today” talk
cannot be had. Being a worker at the plant sounds like it changes a lot about
your life.
