Lost & Found

This was a book club read for me, and I'm grateful to have read it. Numerous passages were so moving and insightful that I saved them on my Kindle and now my phone. She begins with the slow and painful loss of her father (and also the loss of many small things, like keys and wallets, which was funny and truthful) and ends with finding her partner and wife. Schultz is a beautiful writer, and feel as though I was at her wedding because I can see it so clearly in my mind's eye.
I did not like so much her ardent atheism, the defense of which seemed excessive and distracting to this non-atheist. But I appreciate how she writes of her wife's faith with such respect. I also did wish for the middle to move along a bit more quickly. There were places where I had to make myself finish the chapter, or I would just skim to the end of it, because her lengthy discussions got slow for me. Perhaps a more patient reader would just bathe in the words and the ideas.
All in all, a lovely piece with moments of brilliance.
