As the authors I interviewed can tell you, it isn’t necessarily easy to identify the books that have changed one’s life. It’s certainly true that some of my favorite contemporary books and authors are featured in The Book That Changed My Life. I also love nineteenth-century and twentieth-century English fiction–particularly Eliot, Trollope, James, Woolf, Iris Murdoch, David Lodge–and I spent a wonderful summer reading books by John Updike, Andrea Barrett, Richard Russo and Alan Furst. But the book that has actually changed my life is this book–because in sharing their insights with me, the authors led me to a vastly deeper and more nuanced understanding of literature than I had ever been able to gain in school, or on my own. Very soon, I not only began to feel alive and inspired every day, but I’d also begun to inspire other people. I loved Georgia and what I loved even more was the relationship that she and her sister Amy have. If anything I was so envious. These two have got a great bond though at times it is pushed to the limits.
