Illuminate


After a couple of false starts with books I couldn't get into (a rare thing for me to not force myself through anyway), I finally read the much acclaimed Atonement and enjoyed.

I also read a wonderful story collection, American Dreaming. Every story is excellent and one of Iarovici's greatest strengths is her ability to render each character's unique voice.
