This book sounds delightful, funny and smart. I just loved the lines involving 'Ivan's old man' ~ made me laugh! And your favorite passage is fantastic "...miserable in all the usual, banal ways." it's wonderful and makes me wish I had the book in front of me now.<br /><br />This book does seem deserving of consideration for a prize...the Booker list would be great. Thank for a gret review. I've put this on my tbr listAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-67915453774544533242011-06-17T12:45:31.201-04:002011-06-17T12:45:31.201-04:00I love the sound of this novel -- and five out of ...I love the sound of this novel -- and five out of five is promising!
