Book Review: A Feast of a Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I literally devoured this book over the course of two days. Sometimes like decadent chocolate, others like a full course gourmet meal. It left me truly satisfied and wanting more, either way. Ms. Hoffman is an amazing writer; her development of her characters, her sense of pacing and timing, and most importantly her beautiful yet simple command of language is always a joy. I have been an avid reader, and while I can honestly say that I think some of her books get a little too ephemeral and wordy and descriptive, I think this one is a perfect example of her excellent skills. The intertwined stories of the characters are captivating, the descriptions of London are vivid but not overdone, and the way she ties it all together in various ways throughout the novel is subtle and brilliant. This book manages to be heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, and makes you really think about love, loss and the true character of a person. You feel as if you know the characters, even when they seem to not know themselves. All in all, a very powerful book that will stick with me and that I will highly recommend.
