The Beginning of Spring by Penelope Fitzgerald

4.0

P. Fitzgerald is becoming one of my favorite novelists. Her books feel as if they could have been a thousand pages, but that she chose her words carefully enough to pare them down to short novels. And I don't think I've ever encountered such clever, subtle humor. You could read this entire book without even knowing there were any jokes, if you aren't paying close enough attention.
