But, as I said, not at all a bad book.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835205817921501248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600609.post-62829649662184842422007-10-21T19:33:00.001+02:002007-10-21T19:33:00.001+02:00Sadly, I don't think you could be more wrong about...Sadly, I don't think you could be more wrong about this book. The comparison with Anne Tyler is rather misguided since her comedy comes from acidic attacks on weak male characters. "The Eyrie" just isn't in that vein at all. From your comments, you try to see the novel entirely in terms of character development rather than in terms of imagery and interior life. Unless novels are read in relation to their nature, they never make much satisfying sense. Probably, this quietly radical, anti-religious book, just wasn't your cup of tea.A.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08716463684593767622noreply@blogger.com
