A review by sksrenninger
A Book of Common Prayer by Joan Didion

4.0

In a book of so many wonderful lines, one of the most representative of my reading experience is this one: "Like so many works of man in Boca Grande the Jockey Club is less than it seems." An engrossing time capsule of unique characters and dynamics (a certain kind of woman and a man's world) in a weird world (the 1970s, Central America) I've never explored before.
