Was she pretty?

Out of all the books that I've been reading about in the latest book reviews, Was she pretty by Leanne Shapton winked at me. I first read a small review on Entertainment Weekly that said: deceivingly simple. Pretty pairs melancholy, broad-stroked portraits with stories about sundry men and their exes...in just a few sentences. For the fans of... The Nails' song "88 Lines About 44 Women"; Jules and Jim. Does it deliver? Droll gemlike lines ("Alsdair's ex-girlfriend was his first cousin...They were a close-knit clan of eccentric and photogenic aristocrats") will amuse, then leave you wistful and wanting more. - Nisha Gopalan
