Liars and Saints by Maile Meloy
5.0
What a beautiful book. Meloy writes the most unbelievable sentences; every thought is so well-crafted and simple that it makes you feel like you're breathing the story instead of actually reading a book. I really cannot begin to recommend this book highly enough and I'm not even sure why. Where else can you find a writer who can cover the entire childhood of a character in a single sentence and encapsulate that person's essence? It's BRILLIANT, is what it is, and I'm in awe of her. Absolutely in awe.
This is such a small, perfect book, one that spans over the life of four generations of one family in less than 300 pages without making you feel like you've lost even one ounce of who any one character is deep down. What a phenomenal novel from a phenomenal writer.
