Raymond and Hannah

It was certainly an original read with the author creating a literary dance between a couple, who after a few weeks of a lust-driven time, say goodbye. Hannah is off to Israel to immerse herself in the culture, to learn more about her Jewish faith, while Raymond stays at home to continue his studies.

As a reader, I kept wondering if their hot romance would endure the separation. They communicate frequently, giving us a good picture of what they're going through and the pulls on them. Well worth reading.

I like reading it, but I wasn't into it. Marche's language is beautiful and reading this book made a couple subway rides fly by, but when the choice was between reading this book and anything other than staring at ads on the subway, I wasn't interested. I don't really care about Raymond or Hannah. I read the last section of the book this morning to see what happens, and then I returned it to the library.
