Love Invents Us…
It seems for quite sometime now, I’ve been intrigued by one of the earlier episodes of the L-Word – the one where Jenny and Karina are discussing Amy Bloom and one of her short stories from a collection entitled “Come to Me.” I’ve always wanted to read that book of short stories – especially “Silver Water.”
I didn’t read the collection of short stories, but stumbled upon her first novel at a tag sale in Portland. “Love Invents Us” is one of the most disturbing and moving novels I’ve ever read. I “devoured” it in one sitting (sans wine) and felt melancholy for each of the characters after reading it. It’s a novel of love and loss, as the main characters move through the transitions of their lives.
It’s odd that I didn’t do as much summer reading as I usually do – I love sipping on wine with a wonderful novel. However, summer isn’t quite over yet…
Nope, there’s one more month left!
