Fans of Howard Norman, the internationally acclaimed author of The Hunting of L and The Bird Artist and a two-time National Book Award finalist, will find in this novel--an intense and intriguingly unconventional love story--all the hallmarks of this masterly writer: sparkling yet spare language, a totally compelling air of mystery spread over our workaday world, and ability to capture the metaphorical heartbeat at the center of our lives.

Like many of Howard Norman's celebrated novels, Devotion begins with an announcement of a crime: on August 19, 1985, David Kozol and his father-in-law engaged in "assault by mutual affray." Norman sets out to explore a great mystery: why seemingly quiet, contained people lose control. David and Maggie's story seemed straightforward enough; they met in a hotel lobby in London. For David, the simple fact was love at first sight. For Maggie, the attraction was similarly sudden and unprecedented in intensity. Their love affair, "A fugue state of amorous devotion," turned into a whirlwind romance and marriage. So what could possibly enrage David enough that he would strike at the father of his new bride? Why would William, a gentle man who looks after an estate--and its flock of swans--in Nova Scotia, be so angry at the man who has just married his beloved only child, Maggie? And what would lead Maggie to believe that David has been unfaithful to her? In his signature style--haunting and evocative--Norman lays bare the inventive stupidities people are capable of when wounded and confused.

At its core, Devotion is an elegantly constructed, never sentimental examination of love: romantic love (and its flip side, hate), filial love at its most tender, and, of course, love for the vast open spaces of Nova Scotia.

Nice support but...
Size: 42DDD, Color: Black
I ordered this for my cousin who finds it very difficult to find bras in her size. She told me she wished she could find a good support bra without the wire because she had deep red marks under her old bra so I did some research and found this bra. She came over and tried it on and my first impression was WOW the support is great but it was very difficult for her to fasten all the hooks in the front due to her long nails. After some time she managed to fasten all the hooks and I noticed I needed to adjust the straps for her and she said it felt a lot better. This wireless bra looks so different on a woman with large breasts than the models in the picture, my cousin's cleavage was very substantial, unlike the model in the pic so if you are heavy set with large breasts, just know you will still have ample cleavage showing. After she put her top back on I noticed just how smooth her back looked, there were no bulges showing and she told me she felt like her posture was better due to the support of this bra. I have four stars due to the hooks being difficult to fasten.

You get what you pay for
Size: 54C, Color: Black
It's really nice n a great bra until u realize that the straps also have hooks, n the hooks keep coming undone n your boobs hanging out. Beware ladies you have to be big n also tall to wear this if not prepare n don't keep your important things in your bra bc if you're like me, u wanna keep the important things close to u. You will lose everything and not even realize it

Works for me!
Size: 44DD, Color: French Blue Lace
This is a great bra for large breasts. Fits well and straps are nice. No major issues with fit or style. I do wish they had a few more colors though.
