As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann
My rating: 4/5 cats
this is the kind of book worth missing a subway stop for; and another book i have had for at least five years without picking up. how many hidden jewels like this do i have buried under stupid lurid family sagas?? but to be relevant: this is a real sink-your-teeth-into-it book, full of war and rage and betrayal and rough sex. but there are some tender things in it too, like umm…umm…i dunno, a man who loves red-tinted glass?? yeah, but he does some raping, so…there are some rabbits…but they are mostly food. no, i suppose this isn’t a gentle book, but it is wonderfully written, and there is some true love in it, it’s just not rodanthe love. which i think is a good thing.
