A review by miss_tricia
The Taste of Salt by Martha Southgate

4.0

I sometimes criticize books by saying I couldn't relate to any of the characters. While it's true that I can't find much in common with the motivations and decisions of the characters in The Taste of Salt, they were so well written that their motivations and decisions made perfect sense to me, despite being totally different from my experience. I really enjoyed reading this book.

The device of having a single character narrate the book in part by telling about her own internal life and in part by pretending to be other characters was a bit forced, but it didn't detract much from the overall story.
