How have I never read Sigrid Nunez before?
I'm desperate to read every word she's written.
She writes about women and female friendship
with a strong sense of knowing.
Void of sentimentally, she examines the ideals of two young women from
very different backgrounds who meet as freshman roommates at Barnard in 1968.
Their lives continue to diverge as they find their footing as adults in a turbulent era
and then the unthinkable happens; one of them is sentenced to life in prison.
Gorgeously crafted, dense with complex ideas, but oh so accessible.
