Sophie’s choice

End of January read and book review.

As January 2025 comes to an end here is one main book i can not forget and it is the book written by William STyron that was adapted into a movie starring Meryl Streep. As i come to finish this on Friday 31st january 2025, i bookmarked chapter 4 as i was planning to use chapter 4 as a monologue to practice my acting.

What was my favorite part of reading Sophie’s Choice?

My favorite part of Sophie’s choice was on page 231 this was in chapter 8, where Stingo watches Sophie every move and at the end of pg 231 mentions ‘I was still moronically in love with her.’ This line just shows how much Stingo yearned for Sophie but the question arose for me but probably for many readers who would Sophie choose, is it Nathan or Stingo?

What where my thoughts on Nathan and sophie’s relationship?

To be honest as Stingo explains the three of them became best friends, and Nathan ha done many good for Sophie, like looking after her, and making sure she eaten,drink and slept well. Yes they will have their naughty moments. Though Stingo being very much in love with Sophie preferred Sophie chooses him over Nathan, i do have feeling sophie and stingo could have also worked out well.

Who would you recommend this book?

I would recommend this book to anyone who is alover of classical romance set during the late 1940s and flashbacks on Auschwitz, this may not exactly be for young adult readers but anyone interested in romance this would be the first book i recommend to read. STryon has away of just imagining you in either sophies or Stingos position.
