When I gave up on The Lacuna, I picked up Matchless. Yay, a short book by an author I like, based on a fairy tale. I could wash away my depression around not being able to read the Kingsolver with a bit of Christmas fairy fantasy.
Yep. That’s what happened. Sort of.
Matchless is a nice, easy story. I read it right before I turned out the lights last night. A very nice bedtime story. I believe you can listen to Matchless on NPR – it was written specifically for NPR and meant to be listened to rather than read.
