eroggbyrne 's review for:

A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

3.0

---

I'm not sure what I thought of this book. The protagonist was my age in 2001, and some parts really resonated with me, but I had a hard time getting into it. I always wonder, when books are written from the perspective of a narrator recalling things from 10 years before, how they can remember so much detail. So, beautifully written, but didn't feel authentic in that sense.
