This book makes me sob at the end. More as I grow older. I got this book at 17 and it was touching. Reread it as the years went on, and as life went on, it made more of an impact. The “Antique Lands” section made me just totally lose it this time. I guess because I‘ve lived more. And loved much more.
Doesn‘t have the same magical flow that many of Allen‘s other novels do. I wasn‘t very invested in Josey. Allen‘s choice to have a character forgive her boyfriend for cheating was fairly infuriating. And did we ever figure out why Josey was such a shitty kid? Probably won‘t read this one again...
