When this book landed on the top of my holds pile, I was pretty smitten with the cover design. The pattern and cobalt endpapers were beautiful. This is a diary, but not one bound by time as the dated chapters jump around and each entry starts off with something that occurs from the day but travels into the past or into the future. A folded clock indeed. Julavits is funny, clever and droll and her life is full of fancy scarves, trinkets, dinner parties, 2nd houses and travel. Enjoyable.
