"There was a time when Liz Taylor and Richard Burton had never met, yet it doesn't mean they weren't, in some metaphysical place, already in love." - p.2 "The larger issue, the one that sends me to the dictionary of philosophy, if I had one, is the idea of acting like myself. Where do my hands go when I'm myself? Are they in my pockets? I frankly can't remember. I have a tough time just being myself, you know, at parties and such. I start talking to someone and suddenly I know I am no longer myself, that some other self has taken over." p.4
I love John Updike's stories. Great images, creative style.
I adore her writing. Always gripping, touching, and I learn something new each time.
Just didn't hook me in. May pick it up again. But really a fictionalized Queen didn't strike me as so interesting this first time out.
