pturnbull 's review for:
Sophie's Choice
by William Styron
This book deserves and requires time and slow reading. The novel is packed in detail. It's been so promoted and adulated that the reader may make the mistake of thinking that it is easy or plot driven. No. The story is painstakingly presented in the way that a new friend's life story is presented over time, with errors, omissions, and deliberate misrepresentations gradually corrected as trust grows. A painful, difficult, laborious meditation on evil, on love, on joy, but worth the commitment.
