The Book of Renee Renn Martin

The Book of Renee is a jewel. Told in a simple, elegant voice, its stories run the gamut from bawdy to reverent, from the slap-stick comic to the severe. It is a memorial service interspersed with hymns-a remarkable group of sonnets once written as a wedding gift for a new bride And, it is one man's attempt to outlive the grief of loss. Everyone should have a book like this written for them-everyone should live their lives so as to deserve it. What Ravel's Pavanne for a Dead Princess is in music, what the Taj Mahal is in architecture, The Book of Renee is in literature.
