A moving story of loss and regret, set in a cemetery. I just wished for an author’s note with info about the memoirs from which he drew quotations.

A strange story strangely told. The flipping back and forth between narrators was a bit jarring at first, but I did become used to it. I sense this is the type of book one either loves or hates, not much in between. While I found it fascinating i am not sure I would recommend it to anyone i know as reading material.

The unusual format takes a little getting used to. I had to reread the first chapter once I’d gotten the hang of it( the name of the speaker follows the section they orate.)
The emphasis on sex surprised me a bit, there are several characters for whom it is presented as the primary storyline. I understand that it deals with the various things in life that people valued or would miss in life, or that may have distracted them from other important things, but felt it was a little overemphasized.

I enjoyed the parts with Lincoln and overall found it an interesting , thought provoking read… (lisätietoja)
