Book Reviews of Life Sentences: A Novel
Book Review: A great read!
Summary: 4 Stars
This one snuck up on me.
This is another author who has a series that I like who's now writing her second standalone. I'll confess that I really hated the first one, What the Dead Know, & actually couldn't get through it which is rare for me - so I approached this book with some trepidation.
The start is slow, but the story & the women in it really do creep up on you, get under your skin, make you keep reading. Add to that all the thinking I ended up doing about memoirs & the nature of memory & this was a really good read. The point is a simple one - that essentially all books based on memory are in some way fictionalized because we only really know our own side of the story - but it's well made & done so without beating you over the head. I thoroughly enjoyed this book
