Mark just finished “A Widow for One Year,” a novel I’ve long described as my all-time favorite and the catalyst in my years-ago decision to one day write fiction.
Mark also had a powerful reaction to the story, but his was about different elements — which only reiterates to me how intricate Irving’s writing is and how a good book can make you think, sometimes even change lives.
I may have to go back and reread it myself, now that I’m all excited for Mark’s having finished it. 🙂
If you’ve got a chance to pick it up, I highly HIGHLY recommend it!
