Why read it?
1 author picked The Chandelier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of the most amazing books I've ever read! It's language is totally unique, creative, and wonderful. It speaks of the inner world of its main character, Virginia, and takes us into her throughts, dreams, experiences and imaginations. Not much is happening and still the whole life is transmitted through this book. I couldn't read more than 3 to 5 pages at a time but returned to it night after night and when I had finished I started again. I gifted this book to many friends who were equally mesmerized by it.
