Protaganist is a burn victim who meets a very unusual woman who helps him through his recovery. Somewhat male oriented (who else would write about a woman who carves gargoyles in the nude?), but it clips along.
I didn't think I was going to like this book. But they give away books for free at library, and it caught my attention one day so I checked it out. Such a good story, one I will not tell you all about since there are many good reviewers on this site, and I'm not one of them. The only thing that b...

It’s definitely my favorite book of the year so far. I loved the story, but also the stories within the story – Marian...
This is the first time, for me, that the hype has paid off. The book (maybe the story, but maybe not) drags.
