Mesmerizing and soul encompassing

I fell for this author with her very first work. I read about this novel in the local paper and the excerpt was compelling enough for me to go buy the book, and every book since that Dani Shapiro has written. I was caught up in her dance with Carolyn and moved to the point that I wrote to the writer trying to connect with this astonishing woman. She did write back, and I have that letter with all of her novels. A must read!!
