My book club has selected this for the month of November. I wonder if I'll have a different opinion of it reading it the second time around. I enjoyed it the first time I read it. We'll see.

Every sentence in the book is eloquent, and the prose is so enchanting that it made me take my time going through the story just to saviour its beauty.

Sigh, just couldn't get into it; I had no love for the movie, either.
I do, however, highly recommend Philip Glass' work that is part of the movie's soundtrack.

I saw this as a wonderful look
at our human difficulty in
living a life that is at once
both everyday and exceptional.
An incredible book that held up
very well to a second reading.
