librarian_wendy 's review for:
Still Life
by Sarah Winman
Definitely a character-driven novel set in Post WWII Florence and London. And what characters! I loved them and wanted to be loved by them. Such tenderness and beauty!
Not my usual cup of tea. I like a good twisty plot. This was simply the passage of time weathered by people who chose to be a family to one another in the aftermath of turmoil and destruction.
There are some oddities that drew me in after a bit — no quotation marks to designate the dialogue (no skimming here!) and trees that talk, a parrot that quotes Shakespeare… all utterly charming.
