Entry: "The Passion"

The Passion is a masterpiece. Deft and beautiful... and full of gaps and questions and ambiguities for the imagaination to play with. It's more accessable than her other books that I've read because the plot and characters are more tangible and the theme of passion is strong... holding all the layers of the thing together. It's very tight, only 160 pages or so. I read the whole thing this morning, and now I'm cursing myself for leaving Oranges are Not the Only Fruit at the store.

But maybe it's for the best, as I should probably get out of bed and shower...
