To Be Sung UnderwaterTo Be Sung Underwater by Tom McNeal

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I don't give five stars very often.  This book, simply put, is a book that must be read slowly, savoring each word.  It is beautifully written and eloquent and slow.  The characters are multi-dimensional and lovable, despite their flaws.  The last time I read a book that made me want to go somewhere quiet and shut my family out was when I read The Help.  This is one of my top ten.  It is amazing.  Sad, relatable, exhultant.  A must read.
