Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Christine Potter has a genius for simile and metaphor.
The chintz couch borne by "pallbearers in dark clothing.''
The chlorine that "tastes like light should."
The jet circling LaGuardia "trailing artificial thunder."
The Hudson by moonlight, "an aluminum road upstate."
And my favorite: "the thunder starting up like an old car somewhere down the darkening street."
Her imagery makes diaphanous and transient nature magically vivid and palpable, and the whole book's packed with glittering moments that made me stop and marvel, "Yes, that's exactly how it looks!" I believe they call this the shock of recognition, and I was pleasantly shocked--often.
