A Widow for One Year by John Irving

3.0

It took about 300 pages before I felt this book started to get good. The last 100 pages or so, things move along in a predictable but really happy sort of way, and there's some really lovely quotes throughout. Makes me really want to read Graham Greene. And also, perhaps for someone who is interested in becoming a writer, it's indirectly very informative. If not also a bit unbelievable at times. But at 500+ pages I don't think you can expect there to not be a few too many "coincidences."
