Title: Poetic History
Review: Books rarely bring me to tears because of how beautifully written they are, but here is one for you to try. First: the language. Such voices in my head, I can't tell you. Second: the structure is gorgeous. I've often grown impatient with the common device of alternating between and among characters, but this time it works just perfectly.Finally, the truth. This writer knows people, evokes them with an unblinking eye for detail and tone. Rueful, strange, nearly blanketed with sadness at times, yet. So good.I didn't really expect to like this book much, but you know, the reviews were promising.And delivered.
