Theft

I feel that I was too young to appreciate this book, which isn't something I thought I would say about any book before reading this. I think a lot of what the book was doing flew over my head. I found it difficult to relate to themes and characters as I am now but it was beautifully written, and I really wish I could have gotten more out of it. I didn't think I cared much about the characters until the last chapter, which I found very hard hitting despite it all. I didn't exactly enjoy this book - sometimes it felt a chore to be honest, but I'm still glad I tried it. Maybe someday I can reread and understand it better - though when I think about it, I hope I will never experience such loss that will make me relate to it.

Oh the main character happens to be a lesbian which is probably how this ended up on my to be read list. (It's not a romance, or an Issue Book - or at least not a Lesbian Issue book but you know, it's there even if you might miss it if you blink too hard)
