Title: Took a leap of faith to write this book...
Product review: ...and another leap of faith to read it. I'm not sure why it hit the big time, #1 on NYT, etc, especially with the insipid cover. But it slowly sucked me in, in spite of the premise of a child looking down on her family from heaven, after she has been raped and murdered.I suspect the author was as surprised as her readers when this book took off into the stratosphere. Frankly, I'm not sure it's going to stand the test of time, and I don't feel moved to reread it. But there was a quiet power in the story, and a rare kind of healing took place, in spite of the somewhat unfulfilling ending (which I don't mention for the sake of those who haven't read the book yet).Read it. Think about it. Then give it to a friend.
