Bear with me here as I wish to make an unusual comparison of Ann Patchett to Ernest Hemingway. At least in terms of crisp, clear, terse and powerful prose. Whereas, Hemingway was tough, Patchett tends to be tender. Her ability to develop characters is amazing and she seems to hit the right level of pacing. The story has interesting "average" folks - yeah, there really are quite a few of them out there - as well as some esoteric ones and the story itself is interesting. Not usually my type of novel so pleasantly surprised that this one held my interest.
This was a beautifully crafted surreal story about a woman, Sabine, after the death of her husband. Her grief was painfully realistic (I am also a widow) with so many unusual twists and turns that I couldn't put the book down: A gay husband whom she never had an intimate relationship with; her husband's lover who has predeceased him but cared so much for Sabine that he bought a cemetery plot for her so that she could be buried with them; a completely dysfunctional family from Nebraska that Sabine knew nothing about and, of course, Sabine's vivid dreams that felt like messages "from the other side." Having lived in Los Angeles, I even loved the references to beloved places like Cantor's Deli. All of these disparate elements were beautifully woven together to make a story that has endeared me to this author. This is the first of Ann Patchett's books that I have read but will now buy the rest of her works.This is a wonderful book by a very talented author that I am happy to recommend.
This is a very good book. However, I really can't recommend the Kindle version as it is absolutely chockful of copyediting and spelling errors. As an example, early in the print book Sabina drives past 20-foot-tall faces on billboards; in the Kindle edition, it's "20-foot-tall feces." Do yourself a favor and buy the print version. These errors are very annoying and distracting after a while, and given that the Kindle edition isn't exactly cheap, I believe they're unacceptable.
Great story that I couldn't put down. Patchett is a master at creating tension. The characters seemed real, as did the scenario. As I am from Los Angeles and now reside in Nebraska, this hit a note for me. The arrogance of Californians was made evident, as was the ordinariness of those who live in middle America. It may not have been so accurate with the constant snow, as we are drier than most believe. But the characters could have lived anywhere. Nebraska was used as a metaphor for the "middle of nowhere." I would have liked the book to wrap up a bit better, but keep thinking about the book and can create my own ending.
Ann Patchett is simply incapable of writing anything less than a five star novel. This is one of her earlier books but it is superb. Her characters are so alive that you can picture them: their faces, their body shapes, their walks. A very original story is served up in this delicious book. Sabine It is very bright and probably could be successful in any field that she chose but one day she sees a magic act and winds up working for the magician whom she becomes totally in love with. The story starts with the death of the magician and leaves Sabine a widow. It's only later that we find out that she's recently married although she worked for the magician for 20 years. And we also find out that the magician, Parsifal, is gay and for the last few years had a lover named Phan and the three of them lived together in a big house. When Parsifal finds out that he is dying he marries Sabine, who- remember - loves Parsifal more than anyone on earth. Phan was very wealthy and all that wealth comes down to Sabine but she is inconsolable. I couldn't help think of Lytton Strachey and how much Carrington was in love with him and how she committed suicide after Strachey died. Carrington even married a man that Strachey was amored with so that Strachey could be physically with him. Sabine's grief is so all-encompassing that she spends most of her time in bed and would possibly stay there forever if not for the call from the magician's lawyer with some very strange news. Parsifal, who was orphaned as a young child and had absolutely no family suddenly has a family in Nebraska who are very much alive. In contrast to the trio's New York sophistication, the Nebraska relatives are exactly as you would picture them: down to earth, unsophisticated and straight shooters. Much against her parents wishes and warnings, Sabine travels to Nebraska to see her new rellies. Sabine wants to be enclosed in anything that Parsifal might have touched as a child; she wants to rub herself in it the way a dog would rub against some foul scent. One sister looks just like Parsifal and as a magnetic draw to Sabine. One might think she would be turned off by these people but she is drawn to them and cannot seem to extract herself. She stays there for weeks. It's fascinating to see what goes on in that life then where East meets Midwest. Both can learn from each other and it's wonderful to experience.I find it so remarkable that every novel that Patchett writes is so totally different from all the others, very much to her credit.
Maybe I am biased when it comes to Ann Patchett but I just loved loved loved this book. Wonderful story about Sabine who is wife, partner and friend for more than 20 years to Parsifal, a magician. After Parsifal dies Sabine finds out that he has a Mother, two sisters and two nephews living in Nebraska that she never knew anything about. The book is about love and relationships, family, magic, secrets and friendship. So beautifully written, just loved it highly recommend.
Not Ann Pachett's best work (unquestionably Bel Canto) but enjoyable all the same.The characters range from stock to surprising and one of the things I liked best about this book were the interactions between characters from drastically different worlds, something I have seen in all of the Ann Pachett books I have read. This book explores a "sidekick" type character who is her own strong individual person and yet somehow also a supporting character in many aspects of her own life.
