A review by jesabesblog
Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage by Dani Shapiro

3.0

This didn't click with me. I can see how people with a personality that matches Shapiro's might find it moving and inspiring. There were a few quotes she includes I loved - like on page 102, quoting an unnamed book: "Rabbi Zusya said, 'In the coming world, they will not ask me: "Why were you not Moses?" They will ask me: "Why were you not Zusya?"'" (Goodreads tells me the author was [a:Martin Buber|29357|Martin Buber|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1256658831p2/29357.jpg].)

Overall, though, it was the tone of the book that didn't land with me. Too ethereal and fragmented.
