oo vasilly- I read both Truth and Beauty and Autobiography of a Face this summer, and in that order. Read autobiography of a face FIRST. You'll enjoy it more.
Both were excellent, I just wish I had read them the other way before I knew the rest of the story
Thanks, Dana.
Yes. Definitely Autobiography of a Face first and then Truth and Beauty. Both wonderful books. Ann Patchett was Lucy Greely's long-time and extraordinary friend. She wrote Truth and Beauty (the story of their friendship) after Lucy's untimely death.
I hope my book The Scent of God will stay on your list. ;-)
I'm almost through reading Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. I would like to read more by her, so maybe I'll add Truth and Beauty to my list.
The Scent of God sounds interesting, too.
I loved Istanbul, very lyrical and melancholy
Beryl, I can't wait to read your book. I'll probably end up reading it before January.
