Have you read Going Home Again? Do you recommend it?
I very much liked Claire Messud's book, not so much the last third or so, where I got temporarily lost in some odd way (though I became unlost at the end and liked it again). Going Home is one I may skip unless some of my trusted friends who have bought it say something that counters what I read in the National Post review: http://arts.nationalpost.com/2013/08...y-dennis-bock/.

So many books, so little time.
