This was brief and lovely, and so generous to all its characters. Puts you inside their longing/regret/sadness without making you wallow. Covers some well trodden territory in ways that feel fresh and specific. This is neither here nor there, but it's hard to imagine how much this might have meant to me in an earlier season of my life. Not that I appreciate it any less, but my reaction in my early twenties would probably have been much more acute and I'm kind of sad to read it and think how it much harder it might have hit then. Though I guess it may hit me harder later in life if I were to reread, which I could see doing. All I'm saying (hardly a revelation) is that milage may vary depending on what you bring to it and where you're at in life. But that's so obviously true of many books it's hardly worth saying. Read this in one sitting as a cool down lap after Underworld. Again, not relevant to the book itself, but it did work perfectly for that purpose.
