A review by amyma
Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford

4.0

Having read and enjoyed Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, I knew I had to read Love and Other Consolation Prizes. Just as with the previous novel, this one is also a beautifully told story of love. Switching between telling in present day and going back in time is done seamlessly. Jamie Ford's descriptions of Seattle and the World's Fair made me feel I was there, experiencing the auction, the first cars on the road, the poverty, and the "over the top" ways of the brothel. This is not a fast story, rather it is told slowly in a way that will draw you in and make you not want to put the book down.

** Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review. **
