I'm new to Patchett; I don't know why I held out on her for so long. This book was everything - the prolonged spiral of grief for a life you had sure is a powerful, drawn-out feeling, and it permeates every page.

Also, Tom Hanks' narration is impeccable. I really recommend picking up the audiobook if you can.
