I've been saving this for October. Today's sunny weather means I can enjoy a few pages outside. So excited to finally "fall" into it! ?

While I enjoyed this book, I expected a bit more. The author explores the relationship between two unlikely friends, both immigrants, but with vastly different experiences and world views. Nostalgic memory (and its tendency to be only partially true) plays an important role in the novel. The writing was a bit uneven, though I've heard that Aciman's memoir, Out of Egypt, is well done. I may try that later this year. Overall, glad I read this one.
