"There is a moment,a cusp, when the sum of gathered experience is worn down by the details of living. We are never so wise as when we live in this moment"

My daughter was given this book to read in class. She is a sophomore in high school. She asked me to read it because it is "bizarre and inappropriate". I read it in one evening. I thought the book was fantastic, but not for a 16 year old. Anyone read this? Thoughts? #24in48. #readathon. @Litsy

Elegant writing, rich descriptions, and beautiful metaphors fill every page of this book. It has to be read slowly and carefully to savor as many details as possible, which unfold gradually to create suspense. This is a magnificent book worthy of the Pulitzer it received. ❤️❤️❤️

Beautifully written and captivating until the very last page!!!
