A House Among the Trees by Julia Glass

4.0

I rank this book right up there with [b: The Cookbook Collector|7632696|The Cookbook Collector|Allegra Goodman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320507963s/7632696.jpg|10140384]. Like [a: Allegra Goodman|16264|Allegra Goodman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1496053874p2/16264.jpg], Julia Glass has a knack for telling complicated stories about multi-faceted people and making it all seem simple and obvious. Not a lot “happens” in this book plotwise, but we learn a tremendous amount about the four point-of-view characters, as well as the figure who unites them, esteemed children’s book author and illustrator Mort Lear, whose unexpected death a few weeks before the book opens drives whatever plot there is. I enjoyed my time with this book and look forward to reading more by Glass in the future.
