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

2.0

Hmmm...there were flashes of brilliance in this book, and I bookmarked several quotes that really spoke to me, but the rest? I thought it was very overwritten. There was so much going on; each big event that happened in the book should have been a book of its own. Instead, there were a couple of pages devoted to it and then we were all supposed to move on. Lots of unanswered questions and things hanging. I ended up really skimming the last quarter or so to get through it.
