That, too, tackled darker issues with wit and grace, and it totally worked for me. I'll definitely need to read this now.

Not only does the book sound right up my alley, but you had me sold on your mentions of the philosophical aspects of the novel as well as the fact that you think of it as an off-the-beaten track indie movie. Definitely something that appeals to me.Tammy Februarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-43165211785623359502013-08-14T14:41:02.740+01:002013-08-14T14:41:02.740+01:00I loved this book too!
