Victoria (YSB) - reviewed on 11/20/2009 + 636 more book reviews

This was certainly an interesting book. Truly, it was beautifully written and captured what seemed to be an entire town for the early summer. The meanderings about the nature of the world somewhat slowed down the action and because it didn't really delve too deeply into any of the characters' lives, it didn't seem like a very modern book. I did like the sections that followed the P.O.V. of the dogs in particular. While I did enjoy it, I don't think I would pick up just any of her other books, but I suppose I would keep an eye out for them... without any sense of urgency, however.
It reminded me, somewhat, of Leif Enger's writing, but only in the careful construction of sentences.
