Perfect Reader by Maggie Pouncey

4.0

I did enjoy reading this book even though its main character is rather sullen. It does fit into the drawn-out narratives about introverts with failing relationships category but is redeemed by its sharp insights and writing.

Flora returns to Darwin, the New England town where he father taught after his death, where she has been made her father's literary executor. She takes on the role reluctantly and over the course of the book you realize why. On factor being the poems he wrote about a lover she didn't knew he had.
