Quicksand

Powerful and poignant all the way through, but that ending was soul-crushing.

Great narrator. I found myself liking the character less and less.The book was well written but she seemed to be her own worst enemy, not knowing why she could not find happiness. When she expressed a desire, it was often given, only to get tired of it and want something more. It was ready to be finished and it ended sort of quickly. Larsen's other book was much better. I wish she had been able to write more.

This book is devastating. It is about identity and feminism and choices or the lack of them. It is as relevant today as it was when written. The narrator, Elizabeth Klett is one of the best!
