Cheryl Strayed
In her debut novel, Torch, best-selling author Cheryl Strayed weaves a searing and luminous tale of a family's grief after unexpected loss.
"Work hard. Do good. Be incredible!" is the advice Teresa Rae Wood shares with the listeners of her local radio show, Modern Pioneers, and the advice she strives to live by every day. She has fled a bad marriage and rebuilt a life with her children, Claire and Joshua, and their caring stepfather, Bruce. Their love for each other binds them as a family through the daily struggles of making ends meet. But when they received unexpected news that Teresa, only 38, is dying of cancer, their lives all begin to unravel and drift apart. Strayed's intimate portraits of these fully human characters in a time of crisis show the varying truths of grief, forgiveness, and the beautiful terrors of learning how to keep living.

The most precious reading of her own work

Great book

If you are like me, you are interested in this book because you loved Wild. Strayed's style is in here. It's in here in the shocking, raw things that the characters do because they are flawed and because of their grief. I liked those moments. Where this book failed though was redeeming those characters and making them likable. In Wild, Cheryl obviously is super likable and does things and shares things that made me like her including and because of her flaws--I liked her because of her complete-ness.
The characters in Torch were selfish and narcissistic and shallow and single faceted in their flawed-ness. I had no reason to cheer for them, they were just kind of lame.
The end of the story was the worst part. It just fizzled as the characters continued to have things happen to them and as they just stumbled through their mediocrity.
I also did not like Cheryl as the narrator. She had an annoying lilt in the way she finished each sentence that got tedious.
I hope Strayed writes more books. Fiction or non-fiction, I'll read (listen to) it, because I like her style and I think she'll only grow as a writer.
I don't recommend this book.
Meh. The characters just weren't likable

The story is a lot of missed connections, and you wonder why they feel like they can't share their feelings with one another. They are pretty alone in their grief. It's irritating to see what the characters cannot, and they don't really resolve any of their internal issues, they just stuff them down and move on. That was why I didn't give the story 5 stars. It doesn't have to have a happy ending, but I would have liked to have left with some wisdom. It was them I did leave with was my own inspiration to be more in touch with my feelings and not treat people the way that this family treated each other. So I guess that is something.
The reason I gave the performance three stars is because it is narrated with an upward inflection. I would get distracted because I would wait and braced myself to see if there would be another one. But the narrator did a good job with the voices, changing her voice in subtle ways.
Beautiful story
