A Feather on the Breath of God by Sigrid Nunez

5.0

This was a stunningly beautiful book. I haven't yet read any other books by Sigrid Nunez, but now I definitely will. The writing was so sparse and elegant with such emotional depth--it's rare that a book brings me to tears, but this one did. It left me with that wistful feeling of wanting more even though the restraint and deceptive simplicity was exactly what made it so powerful.
