Luiselli’s writing is imaginative and touching, poetic and simple. Her characters become you. I wouldn’t have expected that I would enjoy this style of flitting between characters and time in a sentence or paragraph, but she uses it convincingly to give her writing the dreamlike quality of memory. Full of ghosts, motherhood, youth and aging, truth and fiction, this is a wonderful book full of resonating quotes. This is one that I could see rereading.
