I just really cannot get into this. something about the writing is off to me.
Outstanding, subtle portrayal of a woman undone by a vicious, unprompted, seemingly random violent attack and how it colors her subsequent job as a teacher instructing young adult students in creative writing. Fascinating and perceptive, as Baker weaves together the characters and their motivations and needs into a mesmerizing narrative leading to a harrowing, haunting climax. This is one of the best books I've read this year.
