A review by bookish_wendy
A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

4.0

I loved it, I hated it, which is pretty much how I feel about ALL of Lorrie Moore's books. There is some incredible writing in here. Phenomenal. More than once I felt like I needed to dog-ear a page to come back to a description or thought. She knows how to bind you up and keep you emotional about her story. Well worth reading for these reasons alone.

Having said that, parts of the story fell flat for me and I found the overall flow of the plot disjointed. I still like her better in the short-story form.
