“Zorrie”

“…even things that you desperately wanted to hold on to, faded from memory, while other things burned their traces so deeply they never left you.” (115)

A life well lived. Isn’t that what we all want? I wasn’t overly impressed with this novel. I was hoping that it dealt more with Zorrie’s time at the Radium Dial Company. Thirty percent into the book, I felt it had run out of storyline. And perhaps it did. OR perhaps, Zorrie’s life is not unlike my own…a series of events remembered, memories lost; a life well lived.
