erinmalonepoet 's review for:
The Bay of Noon
by Shirley Hazzard
The writing here is elegant and subtle, belying the turbulence of the characters and their stories in Post WWII Italy. It's passages like this one near the end that I most admired:
"Arriving in America, I was coming from this. Some part of me would always be coming, now, from this. Like the dye they had injected into my veins, the country coloured my essence, illuminated the reaction to everything else. Here, literally, I had come to my senses."
