debbic 's review for:
Divisadero
by Michael Ondaatje
This is the first book I've read by Michael Ondaatje. Wow! His writing is so lovely, his descriptions and word choices are fresh and surprising without seeming contrived. The book is like stepping through a doorway into the lives of a few superficially ordinary people in California and France. Once introduced to the characters, it was a reminder of how extraordinary every life story is; how unpredictable our lives are and how strongly our actions ripple through each others experiences. I listened to this book narrated by Hope Davis, she did an excellent reading. The material is deep, not plot driven, it is a novel that will stay with me for a long time.
