A Wonderful Read
Julia Glass is back with a book as good as her first book, Three Junes. Her characters, the story line and her writing are thoughtful and engaging - you feel like you've become part of the story and are getting to know the characters as you would a new friend. More than anything, this book is about the potential for change, for discovering the capacity for growth and hope. Her last book was a disappointment. This is a return to what made her first two books so good - very human characters with the potential for grace. I recommend it highly.

Seinfeldish
This book was great for those nights when a case of insomnia pursued me. I could not enjoy this novel at all as it just kept skipping from character to character. Way to Seinfeldish for my liking and it did absolutely nothing for me.
