Negative Positive
Title: Masterpiece
Review: I enjoyed "Fall On Your Knees," but "The Way the Crow Flies" may be the best novel I've read in a year or two. MacDonald employs much more than clever turns of phrase; her genius is obvious in every single page. Among her many devices is the precise insertion of quotes and lyrics which effects credibility and achieves a broad context that weaves historical events and culture into the fictional storyline. The drama is underscored by allowing the reader to be "all knowing." Being privy to all the "secrets" pulled me into the plot and pushed me along with a desperation to reveal the information. The character driven, emotional storyline, is fraught with humor which is at once intelligent and silly. I recommend this book, without reservation, to anyone who appreciates fine literature.
