by Jane Hamilton
I love Jane Hamilton, and this novel is masterful. It was very easy to read, and even when my interest in the story drooped, I kept going because it was so lovely to read. Hamilton is just so good.Like other readers, I had trouble connecting with Walter, the main character. His story, about ambition...
I like this book. While Jane Hamilton often makes me feel such an upwelling of despair and pathos that jumping off a bridge seems reasonable, this book could be considered "Jane Hamilton Lite". It addresses the same issues she covers in other books, but with a far lighter touch.
