After finishing this book I realized that this is the second book I\u2019ve read by the author. The first one, Beartown, was one I had read a long time ago and to be honest it didn\u2019t make a big impression on me. Anxious People was a book that did make an impression – I really liked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this book I think the less I say about it here the better, but I will say that the book is extremely well-written with a plot that was clever enough to keep you guessing. I think a book like this would be a challenge to write: finding the ideal balance of whimsy, reality, heartbreak and love to satisfy both the characters and the reader. I wasn\u2019t surprised to see there were many people the author thanked for their support in his writing at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excellent book – it seems like it would be hard to replicate the feat that the author pulled off here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next is Shuk, by Einat Admony and Janna Gur. Time to learn a little more about how they eat in Israel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
