Evening

"[A] curious mixture of the discreetly modernist novel--single-word title, no quotation marks for dialogue, multiple flashbacks, plenty of stream of consciousness...--and the entirely old-fashioned romance, where love is all, and the characters inhabit sentimental stereotypes as if there were no other form of life. You might think the modernist text was the hard part..., but in fact it reads fluently and persuasively, and it's the romance that causes the problems."Susan Minot is the author of 'Evening', published 2007 under ISBN 9780739344088 and ISBN 0739344080.
