Small Damages by Beth Kephart

4.0

Echoing a lot of the other reviews here to say that this is not action-packed, nor does it really follow the 'normal' story curve with a climax and a resolution. Instead it's a meditative, reflective work that unfurls slowly, like the petals on a flower. It's a journey through identity and family; a look at motherhood and the choices we make; love, loss and the loss of love. Told through gorgeous prose, this is a stand-out novel.
