Rules for Visiting by Jessica Francis Kane
4.0
This is such a beautiful and thought provoking story.
May, a botanist, decided to use her extended time off to visit 4 "friends who she has not seen or even kept in touch with, in a long while. During her preparation for travel and visiting her friends, she muses about what friends are and how to properly host and be a host. May uses trees, definitions, and quotations to examine these topics.
I plan on keeping this book out on lamp table in the living room. I plan on going back to this book, reexamining friends and visiting friends. From this book, I decided I want my visits to friends to be much more personal and intimate. May is awkward, sometimes aloof, but she always cares and wants her visits and relationships to be real and deep.
I loved this book!
