A book to be savored,
This review is from: Bitter Lake: A Novel (Paperback)
This is a novel of many pleasures! Ann Harleman writesintensely sensual prose. At the same time she is a witty, astute and unsentimental observer of the human comedy. In this novel, she switches deftly between the voice of a teenage girl angry and anguished over her father's disappearance and a mother dazed and eventually awakened by the same loss. Along the way, Harleman writes with equal intensity about first-time sex and first-time-in-a-long-time sex, about teen angst and middle-age muddle. She illuminates not only the high drama here but also the small actions that make up our lives: folding sheets; breaking bones; building, figuratively and literally, a home. This is a book to be savored for its many flavors, from the bitter to the sweet. Enjoy! |
