The Land of 10,000 Madonnas
The Land of 10,000 Madonnas | Kate Hattemer
4 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
"Which would you choose: a long, quiet life, or a short, heroic one? Jesse Serrano has always been drawn to this question, but he's never really had a choice. He's known since birth that a hole in his heart would render his life a short one, whether he likes it or not. As his dying wish, Jesse sends his cousins, best friend, and girlfriend on a trip across Europe--a mysterious mission that seems more harebrained with every leg of the journey. Following Jesse's vague instructions, they trek across the continent, unsure if they should be basking in a backpacking trip before heading off to college or searching for something deeper. Through the museums, ancient ruins, landmarks, and more religious iconography than could fill a Holy Ark, they begin to wonder if they'll ever be able to complete the passage that Jesse laid out for them--and if they even want to without him along for the ride. In turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Kate Hattemer's new novel chronicles an unforgettable journey of lost and found, laughter and tears, and a myriad of Madonnas."

So far I'm enjoying this journey of cousins, best friends, and girlfriend sent to Europe by their best friend after he has already died.

The famous Pieta has significance in this book.
And here's a lovely quote: In the scope of infinity, in a universe with no edge, human history is a flare and human consciousness is a blink.

By the author of Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy. Just started, looks promising. The concepts and characters are fresh and authentic; dialogue is witty and purposeful
