Reviews
This was the most heart wrenching and hypnotic book of my life read at the tender age of my twenties miraculously falling into my hands while tinkering in a second hand store somewhere in San Francisco. The spirit of Lucile grabbed my soul and could not stop reading its addictive verse. I loved it from the depths of my being as if I had been catapulted from some unknown memory not wanting to know how it would end- fearing a too familiar attraction to her melancholy fate. It's like I didn't want to know how it'd end, but, nonetheless, I knew and couldn't stop reading as something unseen and painfully stringent was pulling me onward and forward to my doom.
Lucile : A must read.
