A review by viktoriya
Oh Pure and Radiant Heart by Lydia Millet

1.0

Kind of ironic that I finished this book just days before the anniversary of Hiroshima bombing. It was a little strange reading this book. I loved it in the beginning, felt it was "ok" in the middle, and absolutely hated it towards the end. I felt that the character of Ann was useless. It felt like she was a piece of furniture or a vase that noone wants to toss out, yet noone knows what to do with it. As much as fictional this story is, I still wanted to believe it. It wasn't believable at all. It could probably be a good book if it was about 300 pages less than it is now.
