Helpful Score: 2

Exquisite, finely written novel of true literary value. That doesn't mean it is 'dull,' by any means. This is just pure good literature - at times joyous, at times tragic, all compelling. What is even more compelling is that this was written just before and during Reynolds Price's catastrophic illness. How this author, a man, was able to probe the psychology and emotions of his main character, a woman, is incredible. Great story.
