Northfield native Siri Hustvedt first caught our attention with her 1996 novel The Enchantment of Lily Dahl, a self-consciously quirky noir set in a small Minnesota town populated by a ditzy femme-fatale heroine and a cast of flaky eccentrics.What I Loved, her third book, chronicles the quarter-century friendship between a painter and an art historian secretly in love with the painter’s wife. It’s something of a cross between a John Irving family drama and an erotic thriller, and it’s creating quite a bit of critical buzz.
