Happy Landings

Ok, I finished "Floor Sample". Reading it felt like watching a video shot from first-person perspective of trying to land a parachute through lots and lots of trees for a very long time: harrowing, dangerous, and fast paced, but with a soft landing. At the end, she simply walked her dog. (Sorry if I spoiled that for you.) Her realizations, admissions, and finally, release from the compulsion that kept her madly moving house back and forth across the U.S., were like the puff of that parachute expanding as it brought her safely to the ground. And me with her.
