Florence in Ecstasy Tekijä: Jessie Chaffee
This is a crisply written, many layered novel. Even though I was not really interesten in reading about anorexia, Chaffee's novel provided so much insight in the mind of a person with anorexia, and there were so many other aspects to the story that it became a spellbinding read.
This novel remained in me long after I'd finished it. Quiet but powerful, heart-breaking but humorous, with writing so delicious I couldn't decide whether to savor slowly or gulp down all at once. It took a subject I mistakenly thought I understood and turned it upside down. The writing is gorgeous, and the landscape of Florence exquisitely rendered. You feel, hear, smell, and taste along with Hannah; Jessie Chaffee has that unique ability to draw you so close to her narrator you exist on the pages with her. Reading this book is like living it, and, as only the finest novels can manage, finishing it is like leaving a bit of your soul behind.… (lisätietoja)
