Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage by Dani Shapiro
4.0
Read (or actually listened to) this book based on the recommendation of a book club selection. I don't think I would have found it otherwise. I loved her style of writing. Listening to the audio version, it just felt as if she were speaking to me personally about her life. I could imagine the pictures of their life flitting by on their tv screen.
The most profound part of this book was talking about couple's "third thing". As a woman, approaching 50, married for over 25 years, my husband and I lost (or maybe never had) our third thing. Moments like this were eye opening and yet made me want to cry.
This book definitely touched me. Yet I don't think it's for everyone... or I should say I don't think it will have an impact on everyone. I'd love to have my daughters read it but I'm not sure they'd get it. As for me, I will probably listen to it again.
