“Wow. It took me a while to get through this because it’s not your typical book with twists and turns, it’s a bit slow. But damn such a beautiful story. Really shed light on how the average views of the general public has changed over the years. Overall really moving, heartbreaking story of love life and death.”

“This book is still magnificent all these years later. I first read this in 2005 or 2006 at the recommendation of a close friend. I had seen The Hours and then read it but I was unprepared for how much BETTER this book is than Cunningham’s most famous work. The language is gorgeously wrought. The opening chapter remains one of the most memorable in my reading life. I still love Cassandra and want her in my life.
This time around, I don’t hate Constantine. I understand his motivations a little more than I did when I first read it. My heart hurts for Ben and Jamal. So much pain and loss.
Damn beautiful writing. Still one of my all time favorites. I’m so glad I reread it. Maybe in another 15 years I’ll pick it up again.”
