It's 1:51am. I just finished reading The Ghosts of Lovely Women, in one go. It's been on my kindle app for quite awhile and I've been very busy. Not reading as much as I used to. But my kindle app crashed last night and I lost all my sample chapters. That doesn't sound like a very good beginning. But let me explain. I was going through all the whole books now visible on the app, and trying to find one that held my interest.I'd started this book once before and the first few pages hadn't grabbed me. And the cover was somewhat offputting. To be honest, it looked amateurish. But I gave it another try, not starting at the beginning, but at the last read/saved page.And suddenly it clicked.The characters were so real, the relationships were so real, any of the things they spoke of that I had any knowledge of were, in my experience, correct.And so I read it to the finish, not knowing or able to guess whodunnit.This book, in my opinion, was not only well written, it was the most beautiful and perfect book I have ever read.Those are the words that came to mind for me. Beautiful, and perfect.I could have simply worded the review; beautiful, and perfect. 5 stars. But I felt it deserved a little more.Well done.
