Book of the Week

 by bookgirl @ 17. Jan. 2006. - 10:25:43

John Irving
'Until I Find You'

A bit of an epic novel from Irving - but with all the fun, eccentricity, and tragedy of his best work. Suprisingly upbeat considering the subject matter.

Following the life of Jack Burns, from childhood until he meets his father. A great documentation of the tattoo network as Irving follows the career of Daughter Alice and the tattoos of the music man.

Ranks as my second favourite of his books so far, with 'The Fourth Hand' taking first place for it's fantastic black humour.

You'll finish it wondering the answer to the question that threads its way through the novel: Why do full bodies feel cold?
