A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


This book was very disappointing, to say the least. It was recommended so highly, and from what I've heard Lorrie Moore is a good author.

This does not indicate any potential, past, present or future.



The book was slow to start, has a descriptive prose that left me feeling brain dead, and I often skipped major sections where characters were having dull conversations "off screen" that simply had no impact on the story line. I think the author meant for these to mean something to a post 9/11 world, but they simply fell flat.

The only impact the story had on me, or the heroine for that matter, came near the end, and it then again limped its way to a completely uninteresting and unimportant ending scene.
