Without a doubt, the best book I have read for 2010. And while it's written by a man, the POV is the one female central character. To be honest, I didn't even notice the author was male until after I read the book. There is no plot in the traditional sense. It's just the journey of this one woman's life and what happens to her. And surprisingly, one's banal existence sometimes isn't as banal as it looks. Deep with pain and joy and redemption, this book totally engrossed me.
I can always tell a good author when you cannot find any of his/her previous works on PaperBackSwap. This was his fifth novel and none of his previous novels are available on PBS. Robert Goddard is the same way. So I'm onto something, I suppose. I'll be digging around for more of his stuff, fo' sho.
I give it five bookmarks.
