Title: White Oleander
Review: I wasn't looking forward to reading this book at first. I went to the bookstore to buy something else, but I'm thrilled that they were sold out of the other book. This is the most beautiful piece of fiction I have read in a long time. The character Astrid is so real, raw. The way she changes, her emotions swing, and the pure artistry of her voice is amazing. Each charcter has a distinct voice, which is rare for modern day writers to pull off. Also, Astrid's blossoming through her sexual experiences, pains, love and observance of human nature is gripping and touching. I loved everything about this book, the vivid descriptions, the painful beauty in everything. A must read for men and women alike.
