Still Life Book

I won this on Goodreads and I can't wait to receive it in the mail. It sounds like a book I will enjoy very much. Thanks, Goodreads and Jodi!

I loved this book! The story line was interesting and I was drawn in immediately. I enjoyed the way the author separated the chapters by day. I also very much enjoyed the use of words for descriptive purposes. I found myself rereading some phrases because they were so pretty. I also enjoyed the link between Still Life as in finished artist's work and living a still life such as Julia after the death of her husband. Initially, I thought this would be a difficult book to read - depressing possibly, but it wasn't that way at all. It was actually very easy to read and each chapter (or day) left me wondering what would happen next. Towards the end, I was completetly surprised by a twist. At first, it seemed odd and I didn't know how it was going to fit into the story, but it all came together and I was able to understand the importance of it in the end and it was actually needed for Julia, the main character, to move on.

I will recommend this book to all of my current and former book club friends. We would all have a blast sharing in the details and discussing possible scenarios for the future of the characters.
