| A very satisfying book, even though some readers may be confused because it appears to cross genres. It's a novel of a very complicated family with a mystery at the core, and the author keeps us guessing till near the end in classic mystery fashion. ...more | |

| A friend of mine insisted that I read it, saying it was the best book of short stories he'd ever read. I was skeptical, but there stories are truly impressive. He never even comes close to repeating himself. The stories are infused with dark humor an ...more | |

| I read Clear and then West and loved both of them. Davies has a marvelous sense of language, a dry sense of humor, and great control over her plots. I expect to work my way through all of her work within the next year or so. I can highly recommend Cl ...more | |

| I am absolutely stunned that this book doesn't have a better rating. Anyone who takes this rating as reflecting the merits of the book is cheating themselves. It's a wonderful, quirky trip through the mind of a woman of early middle age as she comes ...more | |

| Anthony Doerr doesn't need another good review but I'm posting one anyway. I have read the book and also listened to the audiobook and they are both wonderful experiences. The plot is complex, involving story lines in present-day Idaho, Constantinopl ...more | |

| Overhyped because of the author's other achievements. And misleadingly described as a novel; it's a series of vignettes. Some readers have complained about the lack of plot but that did not bother me personally. Narrative can be a burden, and some of ...more | |
