Summary: Excellent book...
Comment: This is the second novel I've ready by Sue Miller and this one was much better than the first (Family Pictures). I think a lot of woman could sympathize with Anna. I couldn't help but find myself hoping she would end up with Leo in the end (and I'm a mother of 2!). Although it was hard to get into early on, I truly enjoyed this book.
Rating: 2
Summary: Didn't care what happened to the main characters
Comment: I bought this book so I'd have something interesting to read during my son's tonsillectomy last fall. I was hoping to enjoy the torrid love scenes in it! I got half-way through the book, and it bothered me so much (my own issues getting in the way?), I put the book away. I felt Anna was emotionally neglecting her daughter, Molly, while involved in her lustful dysfunctional relationship with Leo. I didn't like any of the main characters, including Molly---all too unrealistic. But I picked up the book yesterday and finished it. The book was too flat! Though I don't think she was a BAD mom, she certainly exercised poor judgment (and for what? Like Leo was a good catch?)! I wasted my time (I don't read books very often) on this story. Yet I did read the whole book, hoping it would get better, so I'm giving it 2 stars. I didn't think I'd get any more of Sue Miller's books, but other reviewers said she has better novels.
Rating: 4
Summary: A Good Read
Comment: I've come to really enjoy Miller's novels, and she surely didn't disappoint here. Anna and her daughter Molly are together after Anna's divorce. Then Leo comes into the picture, and a whole new world is opened to Anna. So much so, that before she knows it, her daughter is taken from her and what she knew as happiness falls apart. Anna is very introspective, very aware of her own emotion as others decide if she will get Molly back. One thing that seemed out of place was Molly dialog because it was very intelligent and perhaps too self aware for a toddler. But perhaps Miller did this on purpose, and it just didn't sit with me. Regardless, this was an excellent book.
