Life Among Giants - Bill Roorbach
I found this when I was searching for new books in the iBookstore (which is a continuous process). The blurb looked interesting and I rarely (even though I've been making more of an effort recently) read books that have a male narrator. There is something about the book that is beautifully tragic. It is a bit hard to read as it flips between different times in the narrator's life. I loved the underlying love stories that span from the characters youth to middle age. The book is full of secrets and one is constantly waiting for another key piece of information to reveal itself. There are times when you struggle to understand whether the story is actually happening or just a figment of the imagination of the main character. The author constantly keeps you guessing and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something a little less predictable.
