My blip about a lovely book:
Holy smokes. What took me so long to read this? It was incredible, beautifully written, totally captivating and a little odd. All things this reader (me) LOVES. Just a little bit of genius this week.
Jaclyn's (my fellow book snob friend) more eloquent way of putting it:
From the moment I read the opening pages, I was entranced by Krauss' novel. Her storytelling ability is complex and beautiful. She approaches love and loss without trite cliches and placating explanations. Reading this book reminded me why we fall in love and why it's so hard to let go when love leaves and then why it's so important to fall in love again. Truly an exceptional book--
And a few words from Ms. Krauss herself:
"He wondered if what he had taken for the richness of silence was really the poverty of never being heard."
"Desire was born early, as was regret."
