Nothing But Blue Sky by Kathleen MacMahon
4.0
Life slips through the fingers of David. A life that has been defined by his cold upbringing and inflated by finding his true love.
It is a bittersweet insight into how well we know each other, learned behaviour, looking at life with hindsight and how how short life is. A story of life, love and loss. It is beautifully written with a delicate touch that belies the considered prose. It is a book about a marriage told backwards. Its troubling end causing David to unravel his perspective and his attitudes to life.
I found it fascinating for a female writer to insert herself into a man's head, grief and memory. This is not the easiest of reads with its introspective riff but it is thoughtful, fluid and tender.
