Summary: A Book with Heart
Review: This is a touching love story. A young widow, Mattie, recounts her husband, Nick's, life, their time together and the circumstances that stole him from her.We are able to watch Mattie grow from a frightened, shy young woman into a passionate, loving wife who finds strength from the ocean and from the women in Nick's family. Along the way Mattie finally discovers herself. Fowler's writing in this novel is beautiful and the images are incredible. I am looking forward to reading more books by this talented author.

Summary: Remembering Details
Review: What caught me was the title "Remembering Blue"
Also I saw "When Women Had Wings" which was exquisite. But... This story did not capture me completely. It did not hold me until the end. I wanted to be moved and was not.
The author read the words beautifully and slow. I adore a story put into a kind of poetic form, but it was just too much. Some of the story line was boring, not significant. I wanted to know more about Nick, his relationship w/ Matty and less about Nicks entire family. I found myself skipping to the next tape...and I feel guilty about this!
Fowler must be a poet...because the words were fluid and colorful. But in this case, for me at least, it did not work. Less words would have been more.
Note***I would read another book by Fowler, but unless all the details are necessary, I shall read poetry instead.
