fionak 's review for:

The Heaviness of Things That Float by Jennifer Manuel

4.0

---

Technically, that was a good book but I did not enjoy it; it was just too bleak and depressing for me to really ever want to get into it. Still, I recognize that this was well-written, evenly paced, strong sense of place, deft characterization, etc. so I'm giving it 4 stars with the caveat that it is not a book for the faint-of-heart.

Thank you to Douglas & MacIntyre who were kind enough to send me this free copy for review.
