Book review: The Remains of Life by Zureya Shalev

[davidfcooper]

From my NYJB review: “. . . readers prone to depression might consider acquiring a prescription for antidepressant medication before attempting to read The Remains of Love.” Also see my examiner article: "Israeli books: Zeruya Shalev's 5th novel views family through a Freudian lens"

Nice review. :)

It sounds like my kind of writer, as I like figurative language and prose, but as you warned off the clinically depressed I'd better not read it. It doesn't really sound like something I'd like anyway.

Thanks, symian. That's why I qualified my recommendation.
