Sweet, comforting book that still shows us that love, and those who fall in love, can be COMPLICATED.

Actually made me care about baseball while I was reading.

I loved this translation! Returning to the Odyssey made me see how this strange ancient story is still with us in modern culture -- everywhere!

This book had me under a spell and I read it in one 5.5 hour sitting!

Loved seeing South Jersey explored by these characters, and seeing characters who are so devoted to community.

Made me want to drive through the Pine Barrens listening to Death Cab for Cutie with my high school friends.
