I have found a new favorite author: Tracy Chevalier. Many have waxed eloquent on her prose. For me, reading her books is like eating refined, deepest dark chocolate truffles. Bliss while it lasts; despair when it's done.
Her books are surprisingly fast reads but also literary, rich with meaningful imagery, surprise, and they grapple with "real" issues of life. She quietly builds tension through each scene, until it's 3 a.m. and you must keep reading. Wonderful.
Go read Chevalier...now!
