BOOK
REVIEW by Dean Lonseth This book by Peggy Aylesworth Levine says to the reader "read me straight through"; when you've finished, lucky reader, you'll say "I'm glad I did". Because you will have been immersed in writing that gives you a special feeling that lasts well after you put the book down. That "feeling"
is a recognition that as you are reading the main characters' dialogue,
as often as not an innerdialogue with his or her self, you are in the
presence of a writer who not only writes with beautiful language(Ms. Aylsworth
is after all best known for her beautiful poetry) but who most importantly
fully understands This book
is largely about four characters; their inner thoughts, their relationships
to one another, and how they choose to face life as it has placed them
in the time-frame of the novel. |
