The Memory of Things by Gae Polisner

5.0

Ever since I finished this book, I've felt like I need to read it again. The slightest reminder of the book's existence brings me back to the plot, and it takes me some time to get back to reality. I'm obsessing over this story. That is the biggest reason why I gave myself several days between finishing it and writing this review.
The storyline begins on 9/11, a day that changed America, which in my opinion is very well represented in the story. The book is beautifully written in it's entirety; the characters are well developed, and the plot is executed to perfection. I cannot find a glitch in this book, so perfectly done, so full of hope and poignant at the same time. Incredibly captivating.
I highly recommend it.
