Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente
The first thing that strikes you about Palimpsest is the gorgeous prose. Every sentence is crafted with the utmost care, resulting in a novel that almost reads like poetry. It simply begs to be read out loud. I’ve read many books that attempt this kind of lush prose, but Palimpsest is one of the most successful and most beautiful. Read the rest.
This sounds like a wonderful book to get lost in! I am adding this one to my list to get. I like the idea in the book and if the writing is as fluent as you say I have to read it. Sound like a great read I will enjoy. Thanks for the review!
I can’t recommend this novel enough, so I definitely hope you’ll check it out. If you want a sample of her prose, check out the link at the bottom of the review. The entire novel is written in that style.
On my list. I loved Valente’s The Orphan’s Tale.
