SONNET 43, FROM THE PORTUGUESE By Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints! I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. I have read the 5-star and the 1-star reviews, and I agree with points from both groups. Yes, it is a little soap-operish, and yes Charles is too good to be true, and yes Claire pushed her husband away and was in an emotional affair with Dominic, and yes, yes, yes...But this was a book I had a hard time putting down. I loved Vera, her strength and determination, the way she did everything she could for her son. How she fought to find him. I could SO relate to her as a mother.I found Vera's story more compelling than Claire's, but as the story came together it made sense. And even though I guessed (pretty much) what the ending would be, I loved how Sarah Jio made it happen. Okay, and maybe the blackberry vine thing was kinda hokey, but I liked it. Beautifully symbolic.
What do You think about Neve A Primavera (2013)?
One od the best I have read in a long time.
