'Torch' is a beautiful book that describes the process of losing a mother, a wife, a friend in such luminous detail that you cannot help rethinking your relationship with the people in your life, you cannot help understanding everyone's failings more fully. Cheryl Strayed develops her characters with such complete and unconditional love that it is no surprise to learn the novel is based on events in her own life; it is, however, a surprise to learn how much compassion you have for these characters who each, with a less masterly touch, could be charmless cliches. No. They are real and fully-devised and rift with humanity and the tender imagination they deserve.

I'm looking very forward to Cheryl's upcoming memoir; I long to know how many details from this book come from her life. ]]> <![CDATA[sarah added 'How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74801853 How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater (Paperback) by Marc Acito
