*insert snooty, holier than thou PBS voice* It was... ok. I still give it two horns up for the history and build towards the ending, but it just up and stopped at the end. As if Mr. O'Nan had to hop up and run off while in sight of the "proper" ending. Leaving him no choice but to scribble the final paragraph and bolt for the exits. Damn, I HATE saying anything ill of anyone willing to put words on a page for me to read.

Thanks for the recommendation, @BethFishReads !!! Edoardo Ballerini narrates. This will be good!

Reviewsbylola I have always been curious about O'Nan. 8y
Lindy I agree with @BethFishReads : if Ballerini reads, it's bound to be good. 8y
BethFishReads Oh yes. Should be great. I usually like O'Nan and this looked really interesting. @Lindy 8y

This is a great example of a good book that just wasn't quite my cup of tea. I loved the historical setting and thought that the sparse writing style perfectly matched the main character's experience and story. I prefer more narrative detail to sweep me away. I enjoyed the book more thinking about it after I finished it than while reading it.

I put this aside to read some galleys I had waiting and just realized that it is due on Wednesday. The issue is that I am leaving town Sunday morning...let the speed reading commence.
