More About Lillian and Dash
As I've gotten older, my reading tastes have changed. I was, for much of my reading life, well into my 30's, a full-on fiction reader. When my first child was born, my list expanded to include the occasional parenting book, and a wonderful selection of children's books. Later, in my 40's, I began to be attracted to non-fict Lillian and Dash by Sam Toperoff.I started reading listening to this biography(?) on CD expecting to hear of a long ago romantic relationship between two very talented authors. Unfortunately, that's not what I received. This book(biography?) was written as if this author had actually been there observing and listening to Lillian Helman... I second the reviews that say that it reads more like a biography than a novel. Too much exposition, not enough drama, which is surprising considering how much drama you could have wring out of the relationship. I found myself bored and had to force myself not to put it down.
