The Burning Girl by Claire Messud

5.0

I must be at the time and place in my life when I love reading about friendships between girls/women. And this book is splendid. Claire Messud is such a skillful, intelligent writer, and I found myself stopping throughout the story to contemplate one sentence or another. This story is full of deep emotion and the truth about girls' friendships--I just loved it. I read it in two days because I couldn't put it down.
