The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk KiddMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book exceeded my expectations. The characters were well-drawn, the plot was perfectly paced, deep questions of identity, freedom, and ambition were explored...even the writing was beautiful. I was not impressed with The Secret Life of Bees ... I thought the characters were too cliche, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this novel. Perhaps because Sarah was based on an actual person...sometimes life is better than fiction, and doesn't fall so easily into cliches. I could have done without Oprahs editorial thoughts in this edition. I read a few of them, then skipped the rest.
