The Everlasting
by Katy Simpson Smith
I'll admit it: I picked this book up because of its cover. I was walking through my library's new fiction section, saw the vibrant statues on the cover, and couldn't help but pick it up. A quick look at the synopsis and I was willing to give it a shot.
Never have I felt more vindicated for being a cover whore. This book was so carefully rendered, so deftly achieved. Four lives, one narrator. Five voices, one story. I applaud Simpson Smith for her abilities to take what could be written off as too literary, too high-brow, and molding it into something that speaks to the very basest of human needs, wants, desires.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to devouring Simpson Smith's past and future works. Five stars.
