5.0 out of 5 stars
Charming and absorbing,
By HungryMind (Sioux Falls, SD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When to Go into the Water: A Novel (Paperback)
"Charming" is rarely a word I use to describe anything I like - and yet I found myself thoroughly charmed by Lawrence Sutin's brief but fascinating novel - charmed, in the sense of being transported, taken out of myself to another realm of the imagination. He creates a fascinating character in the person of novelist Hector de Sainte-Aureole (Saint Aureole: the patron saint of sunspots?) and makes his life into a trip worth taking - with side excursions into the unexpected ripples caused by his one and only book. Sutin's sheer joy in language is infectious and his story is like a series of surprising treasure boxes, each yielding an unexpected delight.
