I just started the book late last night and it looks like it's going to be a good one!

I read this book in an Advance Readers Copy I won on Goodreads a while back. I will be looking forward to discussing it with everyone!

This is a lovely book, so sad and intense.

I am reading this currently and just getting to the denouement. He is an incredible writer with a very simple but dramatic means of illuminating the everyday disgrace. And I mean that with huge respect. I do not like all of the characters(and I suppose that is what he intended) and yet love the display of a variety of people with whom I have nothing in common but their shared disappointments and griefs.
