A.K. Herman rated a book it was amazing Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Another stunner by Doerr. Beautifully written with endearing but flawed characters. The prose sings at times. My favorite is the title story. Read it twice so I could taste the words a second time.

Loved it! Re-read the title story three times so I could see how it was made. Doerr is a masterful story teller.
