I am enjoying "Loving Frank;" her writing style is amazingly easy to read and I love the little tidbits she puts into the story to make it feel factual even though it's fiction. I am finding it hard too ... I just finished the part where she leaves her children in Boulder for her husband to pick them up ... and I paged ahead and know there's some awkward, painful, and real stuff to wade through. To think it all really happened, alongside a man we know so well as an artist.
Nicole this is a good pick. We will really have a lot to discuss next time we get together. I almost wish I hadn't started yet. Maybe I'll have to hold my thoughts here on the blog for reference. Or maybe I'll read it again. The writing pulls me along so quickly that I haven't had time to mark the passages I find beautiful.
Enjoy the rest of June and upcoming July. See you soon ...
oh my goodness, this book is making me so mad!!! i am totally hooked, and i think she is an excellent writer. the story is wonderful, but mamah makes me want to slap her across the face and give her a good tongue lashing. this will be such a good book for discussion. good pick, nicole!
