Review “A fierce and necessary story of love in the face of obsession, and living when there’s one last chance. With language of crystalline beauty, Diana Wagman charts a course of life and death—of body, and of soul—in a novel of riveting suspense and mesmerizing love.”—Dylan Landis, author of Rainey Royal and Normal People Don’t Live Like This“Can a novel be fueled by obsession, rife with suspense, and yet also elegiac and transformative? In Life #6, Diana Wagman presents a single ordinary life as the extraordinary adventure it is and survival as the constant miracle it must be. This is life, pure and simple and endlessly transfixing, and Wagman has captured it on the page.”—Adrianne Harun, author of A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain“Life #6 intrigued and delighted me from the first paragraph, and for two days I read it everywhere: at meals, in the bath, in line, while driving, you name it. I loved the wit and despair of its heroine, and the way the past—with all its attendant desires and trauma—wouldn't let her go. I love this book!"—Edan Lepucki, author of California

Love, fear, memory, art, marriage & shipwreck By VelvetElvis Life #6 is a rich, satisfying story that toggles back and forth, mostly between two separate eras in the life of the protagonist - when she was in her 20s, and starry-eyed enough to follow her boyfriend and a damaged, half-mad crew onto a sailboat that set off on a harrowing and doomed trip to Bermuda, and her situation at mid-life, when she is older and wiser, but finds that the ground is once again shifting beneath her feet. Somehow, Life #6 manages to be adventurous, suspenseful, contemplative, wrenching, funny and bittersweet. Diana Wagman writes with compassion, a gift for psychological insight and a keen cinematic eye. Read this book.

I love the well-constructed novel that keeps me up late in my favorite reading chair. I linger with delight over the well-crafted phrase, admiring the mind that can put exactly the right words together in just the right way. I treasure the book that haunts me days after I've put it back in the shelf.Diana Wagman's latest, LIFE #6, brought me all this and more, with a story that for me is about love remembered, love questioned, love discovered. I've read and very much enjoyed all of Ms Wagman's previous novels. With this one, however, I believe she is at a whole new level of artistry.

There's a lot here to like.My main reservation about recommending it is that there's only half a book's worth of material here. By the midpoint, the characters are pretty well defined, and the back-and-forth-in-time structure has revealed or foreshadowed everything that will occur in the remainder of the book.It's not a plot-driven book, and I don't mean to judge it as such. Nevertheless, the back half has to bring something additional to the table to justify its existence. I suppose you do discover the ultimate fate of Fiona and Luc's relationship. On the other hand, I don't think I'm spoiling anything to say that these ambivalent characters continue to have a hard time connecting. In a way, it really doesn't matter what the ultimate outcome is, because that outcome is going to be permeated by the characters' inherent fecklessness; hence provisional, tentative, ephemeral, could just as well have gone a different way.I note that the gender-identifiable Amazon reviewers of this book so far have all been women, and I wonder to what extent the reader's gender might influence the experience of reading this book. This isn't a romance novel; it's literature. But it does focus predominantly on a few intimate relationships, and this is a territory where men and women often tend to respond differently.I don't dispute the many effusive reviews. I just wonder if this isn't one of those cases where the chemistry between author and reader is just as important as the chemistry between the characters. Sorry, Diana - I don't think we have a thing. But I'm glad you've delighted so many others.
