![]() ![]() Wren wakes up and she jogs or bikes the neighboring roads around her father's property. But it has been months and not much has changed. ![]() After healing from the physical trauma of the accident, she persuaded her mother to let her leave New York and move in with her artist father in Maine until she can get back on her feet again. No interest in her art (she's a talented photographer). ![]() Told in first person POV, the reader really gets deep inside Wren's head as she struggles to recover mentally from a car accident that took her boyfriend's life. But what I love most about this book is how introspective it is. Lovely, Dark and Deep is a quiet book, and Wren's story is definitely a somber one. It is a wonderful fit with McNamara's debut work, which chronicles the depression of eighteen year old Wren Wells. ![]() I love that poem because of the somber, maybe even dark and ominous, tone. You see, I am a big fan of poet Robert Frost, who wrote the poem Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening, where McNamara's book gets it's title. From the moment I read the title, I knew that I wanted to check out Lovely, Dark, and Deep. ![]()
