It's non-fiction, but reads like a novel almost. The author "shadowed" her main subject for over a decade, and writes about life in one of the very poorest sections of the very poor South Bronx. It is excellent.

I heard an interview with the author when the book first came out, and it sounded fascinating. I think it's on my Amazon wish list. There are about 200 books on my Amazon wish list.
ETA: I also read an interview with the author in Salon.com.
I'll move it up to top of the queue now.
