Irving has a unique voice. <br /><br />Cat - The caps are tough at first, but after awhile it was like subtitles during a movie, I didn't even notice them.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-81726899389117244252010-07-03T03:00:50.465-04:002010-07-03T03:00:50.465-04:00I've not yet been to Hungary but my Mum's ...I've not yet been to Hungary but my Mum's family comes from the ethnic-Hungarian region in what is now Serbia so I am looking forward to one day. <br /><br />I too loved this book and found it strange all at once. The caps took me a long time to get used to but I think it's one of those books that, as you say, stays with you for ages after. The homage to male friendship is beautiful and for some reason the mannequin scenes really stood out to me. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />:)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556843852780239036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-30610805341115046012010-07-02T14:53:23.545-04:002010-07-02T14:53:23.545-04:00I enjoyed this post very much, my husband and his ...I enjoyed this post very much, my husband and his family are from Hungary.
