This sounds like quite an intense read. I only like books that stir up strong emotions in me if I'm in that kind of a mood. And the type of emotion also makes a difference. I'm not so sure if I would gravitate to this book normally, though. .-= Belle´s last blog ..Incoming! Books About Words =-.

What an intense book! I think this is a book I would like to read but I know I will experience some major emotions while reading it. I like when a book makes that happen. Your review is fantastic and I felt a connection to the book already. I felt a little annoyed when you wrote that she started a relationship while still coping with her husband’s sudden death but then I read about her husband’s many affairs and I thought oh, wow, okay. Abd then I realized her husband’s many affairs doesn’t necessarily mean her rush into a relationship so soon after his death is a good idea. So, see I know this book is going to make me annoyed, sad, ticked off etc. But I like that!

Thank you for a wonderful review!

This book is not something I would have picked up if not for this review. I mean seriously, I would not like to read about this topic at all.. I think it is good to read about strong emotions ..that get generated in you too! Great review! .-= Veens´s last blog ..Soul Catcher by Leigh Bridger =-.

I’m so glad you reviewed this book. The initial review I read in a magazine didn’t make me want to read it but after reading your review I may have to change my mind! As for your question at the end of your post – I love and book that gives me a strong emotion, although if I strongly dislike the main character I often struggle with wanting to keep reading it.

This is a great review. I've read quite a few of this book but haven't read it myself. It sounds incredibly powerful so I'm waiting for a moment when I can really sink into it and just enjoy it's heaviness. Thanks again for the great review! .-= Pam´s last blog ..The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread ~ Kate DiCamillo; Timothy Basil Ering =-.

I won a copy of this along with some others, but wasn’t sure about this one. After your review, I think I might move it up on my TBR.
