N.J. Mastro liked an answer about Less:
Less by Andrew Sean Greer
I'm fascinated by the sheer variety of answers to this question. You know what this teaches me? Aspiring writers should never trust the feedback they get from their peers in writing workshops. What if Andrew Sean Greer had listened to a few of these See Lara’s answer.

A wonderful sequel to Push Not the River. I got so attached to Martin's characters in book one that I couldn't wait to read the next one. I wasn't disappointed. I was once again thrust into Poland's past, wondering why I didn't know these things befo ...more

Marlena de Blasi
“Living as a couple never means that each gets half. You must take turns at giving more than getting. It’s not the same as a bow to the other whether to dine out rather than in, or which one gets massaged that evening with oil of calendula; there are seasons in the life of a couple that function, I think, a little like a night watch. One stands guard, often for a long time, providing the serenity in which the other can work at something. Usually that something is sinewy and full of spines. One goes inside the dark place while the other one stays outside, holding up the moon.”
