He captures life "at a certain age" in a way that's very close to my heart, for some reason.<br /><br />Bridge of Sighs is my ultimate Russo favorite - just in case you need something else to read ;)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623887166087444590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-81091950102228110142010-07-27T08:49:02.560-07:002010-07-27T08:49:02.560-07:00Thanks for sharing this- it sounds like a book I&#...Thanks for sharing this- it sounds like a book I'd be very interested in. When you say: "He is writing of the inability nearly all of us have to be the person we wish we could be (a theme that has repeatedly surfaced in this, the summer of my reading)." Yes! Lately I've been doing this thing where I try and figure out a common theme between the last 5 books I've read (and they are usually very different books.) I have found, in almost all of them, characters attempting to be a better version of themselves. Very interesting.Melissa Sarnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215683401795724259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-24192766042652157662010-07-27T07:11:47.137-07:002010-07-27T07:11:47.137-07:00I have yet to read any of Russo's work, but he...I have yet to read any of Russo's work, but he's on my list of authors to try.
