What Remains
Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. A very enjoyable read. Radziwell is an acute observer of other people and of her environment, and NYC natives will enjoy the setting of the novel. When it comes to her main character, Claire, however, the author is strangely dispassionate. We see things through the character's eyes, but never quite know how she feels, or if she feels at all. I found this to be the book's major flaw.. Although this book is fiction, it feels like a different approach to Radziwill's memoir. In both books she discusses the dislocation of a young widow, but this one takes the approach of dark humor.
Claire's husband has been killed suddenly by a falling sculpture caused by a broken cable. In her exploration of the societal and personal reactions New York's elite Claire's new status, Radziwill is witty and literate. She is especially deft in her mocking of the literate celebrities who have failed to find the humor in themselves.
While still ceding grief its piece of reality, she is still able to turn a mocking eye on those who prey on widows. I have to nod to the range of books emerging from the Real Housewives franchise. Certainly this is the most literate and worthwhile of this genre. While this book doesn't meet the promise of her first book, perhaps neither was this Radziwill's intent. Sometimes you just want to read for fun, and this book scratches that itch. It was not what I expected. Thought it was going to be a funny contemporary romance as in light and airy , but it ended up a more thought provoking read.
I enjoyed it but definitely not what I would consider a "beach" read.

I will definitely read her fiction again. I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. Radziwill has an elegance to her writing. Her choice of words turns what would have been an ordinary sentence into something a little bit more. She does well riding that fine line between pretentious and common, especially since the subject matter of this novel could easily have come across as uncouth.
I loved her memoir and enjoyed her novel. Hopefully Radziwill will continue to write so we can all enjoy her talent. I loved "What remains", this one was obviously different kind of book, but I could still see her thru the masked words. Book was lovely in a strange and witty kind of way. I thought this was a pretty stellar read. I enjoyed the main character, and I felt like the all of the characters experienced very natural progressions.
There were some definite OMG moments, and then there were a few moments that were predictable. That said, I loved how the story ended, and it was a very different ending than what I expected. One person found this helpful. Manhattan, When I Was Young: Claire has almost no identity of her own, and she is convinced by friends to lose her widowed virginity and move on. There is a constant war between lightness and heaviness in the subject, in the story, and in the telling that seems intrinsic to city dwellers.
The plot features a lot of takeout, and Claire sees multiple therapists, a psychic, and a botanomanist to get herself sorted out, which, by the end, she more or less does.
