Heartfelt 9/11 book

The Memory of Things
von Gae Polisner

I really enjoyed the book. I think 9/11 is a hard theme to write about and the author made a good job. It didn't seem too much or too less at any time. It was just right.

The characters are well described and loveable. Uncle Matt was one that could have gone terribly wrong. But I guess every reader has to love him sooner or later. 
They all seemed so real, even the bird girl (I don't want to give away her name, would be some big spoiler).

The only critique is the verse like look of the girl's thoughts. It might look better in the real book, but reading it in the ebook was kind of difficult.
