A review by katiez624
Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage by Dani Shapiro
4.0
After reading her deeply personal memoir, [b:Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love|40364332|Inheritance A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love|Dani Shapiro|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1531185781l/40364332._SX50_.jpg|62645055], and loving it, I was curious what Shapiro had to share about the inner workings of her marriage. While I usually don't mind a nonlinear format, this one started to become disjointed, and I was hoping for a more coherent story. She adds in quotations from works of literature as well as excerpts from her own journals.
It is undeniable that Shapiro is a gifted writer. There were a number of passages that were poignant and insightful, but as a whole, the book did not grab me.
3.5 stars
