A Book of Common Prayer by Joan Didion
4.0
A lofty view
Joan Didion is a great writer and this is a good read. It gives a lofty view of a Latin American country in a state of semi permanent revolution. I didn't quite believe any of the characters though. Too much seemed to happen to them for such a short book. It felt like two novels at least squeezed into one. Still the writing makes you stand back and admire.
