The way Patchett can write so many characters and make you feel as if you intimately know each of them is truly talent. The pacing at the end of the book had my heart racing. It did take me three quarters of the way through for me to really feel engaged and drawn to picking the book back up.
My heart hurts now.

If Don Quixote and The Murmur of Bees had a baby… it would be this book.

“They called through the names and told them to go to either the left or the right, and while they didn’t say which side was to be released, it was clear enough. One could almost tell from the cut of the tuxedo who would be staying.”
