The thick cardboard ‘torch’ itself is attached to the book with a ribbon, so it’s not easily lost and can withstand a lot of use.

The setting of semi-wild small-town Minnesota felt like another important character, the rangey freedom, the winter punishment, the independence needed to survive and be content in harsh wintry climate. A friend whose significant other died recently of lymphoma lent me this book, and as I read it I wondered how she could bear to read it herself. for me, usually it is a book of poetry, or a poem in particular, something to hang on to when things are not going well.

I read the second sentence, and third and fourth, until I realized that I would rather be reading it at home than standing in an aisle. It was nice knowing that at the day's end, I could rest my head on my pillow and open the book up, and be in Midden with these people I had come to care so deeply about. Strayed examines the aftermath of this death from the viewpoint of each of those she left behind as they struggle to redefine themselves and their direction without her.in the novel, the characters are a bit of a composite of various aspects of cheryl's pain as described in the Sun article.

That maybe what's most needed at a period of loss is someone to help remind us that there is a life outside the world of loss, that what might help is the few minutes of normalcy, and a place to crash miserably when darkness sinks in.

From the pacing, to the structure (multiple 3rd person points of view), to the very real and very complicated characters, to individual sentences, this book is just beautifully crafted. maybe because they are minnesotan kids and they are raised to keep their feelings as locked up as they possibly can, they spend the whole book failing to connect: to themselves, to each other. Either way, I think knowing about Strayed's life from Wild added depth to some of the stories in Torch. The story did eventually veer far enough away from biography to be unique rather than another version of Wild.

so here's my fantasy, my pure uneducated speculation about cheryl strayed: when she was young her mom died really really fast, and the pain that hit her when her mom died was a pain she didn't even know could exist. The painfulness of the topic aside, it's a realistic look at first, the process of dying from cancer, and second, the effect of the death of a young mom on her two kids and their step-dad. I realize that some people in this world - like the characters of this book (and its author, I've learned since finishing it) - turn to sex in times of grief, pain, and loss.

Yeats said it, it has been used a million times, and it is the primary thought that kept recurring to me as I read this heartbreaking book.It was the glorious writing in this book that kept me reading, even as I put it aside every night saddened and unsure if I wanted to continue reading. Claire, the daughter, is at the U of Minnesota, and her brother is still in high school in a small Minnesota town. Now I understood why the author had felt the need to add a preface to this later printing of the novel-- a disclaimer that the novel was not autobiographical.
