The most amazing thing about Patchett's writing to me is her ability to get the reader inside her characters' heads. She doesn't just make up characters and build a story around them. She puts on her characters' skins and becomes them, and they are the story.
I was surprised by Patchett's photo on the book flap. I was expecting a matronly middle-aged woman with short hair and knowing smile, but she looks like she's probably my age. I was not surprised however by the multiple awards and accolades credited to her in the bio.

ReplyDeleteI tried to Bel Canto, but could not get ito it at all. But, to be fair, at that time I was reading more non-fiction than fiction. I'll try it again and try this one afterward
ReplyDeleteYet again another author you've introduced me to that I'm going to have to check out one of these days.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading this, since I just finish Bel Canto. I agree with you in why she's a good author!
