The Ragged Way People Fall Out of Love: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Infinitely satisfying
Review: If you read a book that feels like it's boring, and reads like it's boring, and you suspect it may be boring - well, very likely it is boring. But if you have the time, go back and read the book again. Like a glutton sampling a delicately seasoned dish, it may take some time before the literary palate - accustomed as it may be to more violent or shocking fare - can adjust to more simple, pleasing work. Yet at the same time, the palate may find itself starved for something more pleasing, and may therefore ravenously devour such work.

I went through this book like a hot knife through butter. I don't know if that says something about me as a person, or about my tastes in literature. What I do know is that this: Elizabeth Cox has written an infinitely satisfying novel about ordinary people.
