Infinite Home by Kathleen Alcott

jaclyncrupi's review against another edition

3.0

This is a book about damaged people and how they help and support each other. I wanted to love it more than I did. Alcott is a lovely writer but the slow beginning coupled with the fact I found it tricky to keep the characters straight meant I never really engaged with it. There were also a lot of similarities between this and Bradley Somer's Fishbowl and I enjoyed that book more.

This book was so special. Alcott writes in such a poetic way that really gets me into the lives of the characters, makes me feel every beautiful, sad moment in their idiosyncratic lives. And I didn't want to leave their world.

Wow. Fell into it and didn't want to climb back out of it until I finished it.

Beautiful, yet somewhat (necessarily) confined

just soooooooooo overwritten... and the story did not grip me at all.

I don't really care what happens to the characters. There are too much description and world building that it bore me from the very first 100 pages

“You weren’t supposed to swallow up beauty whole, weren’t suppose to rip it from its nest and insist it was yours alone.”

Edith owns a home in New York that she rents out to misfits. As she ages, her horrible son tries to take her home from her and evict the tenants.

One of my favorite parts of this book was the character Paulie. I learned about Williams syndrome for the first time.
