If you can get through the first part - a very graphic recollection by Sebold of her rape - this is really an amazing book. Her actions, feelings, perceptions, and reactions all feel so real to me. I was riveted by her description of the various forms her life took on after the rape. It is all the more compelling because she actually found the guts to write something so true to herself, and not a "rah, rah!" story. Highly recommend.
