No, I mean, seriously: wicked-awesome

The opening chapter of All This Heavenly Glory by Elizabeth Crane is one of the finest sentences I've read in the last five years. That opening chapter/sentence is ten pages long. It's seriously wicked-awesome.

And then the couple chapters after that are pretty sweet, too.

The book is up for discussion at the Litblog Co-op this week. The book will also be in my hands every free minute I have the next few days until I finish reading it. It's one of those books I've been sort of loosely meaning to read for a while now, and now that I'm into it, I'm wondering what took me so long. Because, seriously.
