Tin Man

I wanted to read this after I so enjoyed Still Life. This is similar in that she beautifully captures friendship and love among young people. it also has a similar working class culture background. And it also has an appreciation of, and focus on, art as a source of life and hope. This is a shorter piece, and reminds me of a watercolor painting. I did find it difficult to follow the plot, probably partly because I was listening. I also found it to be kind of depressing, but perhaps it just wasn't the right book for me at this moment. I might not have finished it if it weren't so short.
