What is the author's style in Gap Creek: A Novel by Robert Morgan?

As this novel is written in first-person narration, it is conversational in style and should be easy for most readers to follow. The novel is set in the late 19th century and the language reflects that era. Julie is an uneducated farmwoman, which means her language is elementary, grammatically incorrect, and somewhat broken. Although somewhat intimidating, once the reader gets used to the style, it is not a hindrance to the comprehension of the novel.
