My Amazon review of A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline (Rated 5): Christina’s world painted in words – As surely as Andrew Wyeth captured Christina’s world in paint, Christina Baker Kline captures her world in words. From the small details of daily existence in rural Maine, to the bigger question of how we fashion a life with what we’re given, the book strikes a fine balance between bitterness and beauty. A painterly novel.
