I'm the first one to post something!
I just picked up the book so I didn't read it yet but I plan to!
I loved Elsewhere. It had a dreamlike quality that made me feel I was there. Since I don't know what death is really like, Zevin's story was an enjoyable fantasy. It would be a second chance to try a vocation that I never experienced. Now what would that be for me?
Hello I love this book. It is a,azing. I highly recommend it.
My best friend's mother just died and at the time we were reading Elsewhere. I think it really helped her that she could think of an alternate reality where her mother could be watching her as we spoke. She always refers to it and I like thinking about it in that way.
I still reading Elsewhere at the moment with my book club and its a great book! At first I thought it was going to be sad but its not so I really like it! Its a very popular book at my school and I would definelty recommend it!
