Four Letters of Love by Niall Williams

3.5

---

Beautifully written, yet I think I needed more than beautiful writing to keep me interested. There were a lot of sluggish parts, and this novel is oh so quiet. People suffering in silence with little outward character dialogue or emoting of any kind is tough for me. Isabel and Nicholas live a distance from one another, and they both have a certain amount of upheaval in their lives that will keep them apart for most of the novel. Will love conquer all?
