krdegan 's review for:
The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna
by Juliet Grames
I’m not sure how to rate this book. The writing was beautiful and the characters were so well developed that I felt they were real. The story was tragic — overwhelmingly so at times. Yet the author pulled out from a hyper-focus on any particular tragedy by having the book span more than 100 years. The preludes and aftermaths have plenty of time to play out around each circumstance.
As I read the book, I thought I’d rate it a 3 because so much of the story was just so sad. But when I think of all that was accomplished in the telling of the stories, I think it deserves at least a 4.
