Diana L. (mamadiana) reviewed on 7/24/2009 + 8 more book reviews

I would give this more than five stars if I could. The writing was so amazing in parts that I wanted to jump inside the pages and swim around for a while...I found myself re-reading passages not because the words didn't sink in the first time, but because the words were so incredibly beautiful, the sentiment so perfectly articulated.

I read a lot of negative reviews about the ending. I'll admit it wasn't what I expected, and not at all what I would have liked to have happened, but after mulling it over in my mind, I am okay with it. I'm even starting to see the beauty in the way Wroblewski chose to conclude this epic tale of life and love.
