Elegies for the Brokenhearted by Christie Hodgen

4.0

An excellent book, though I didn't really warm up to it until the 4th elegy. The 4th and 5th were far and away the best, the 2nd and 3rd the weakest. Or, rather, why they are there is less obvious. The 4th really pulls the past and future together, I felt. The first and 4th had the most positive influence on Mary, the narrator.

This would be an excellent book club book. The purpose of the 5 different elegies--and why the narrator considered them her 5 unforgettable people--could be discussed to no end :)
