The Maytrees by Annie Dillard isunique. The story is poetic, the
prose beautifully phrased. This is
apt as the story is about a poet, his
two loves, their friends, and the Cape
Cod shore. This is a story about living
and dying; love; and the beauties of
nature. Descriptions are poignant and
the characters delightfully unconventional.
I listened to this story on CD; the reading
was beautifully done by David Rasche.
I have listened to the last CD several times already
as I am not ready to say "good bye" to these 'friends'.
However, this is my last listen. I heartily recommend
this book. Among the best I've 'read in a long time.
