Title: I was expecting far more from such a renowed writer.
Product review: There was no real strong connecting bonds between the characters. Far too many characters were continuously introduced and consquently it was difficult to feel that you got to know any of them in depth. There was no real theme that you could get a hold of and the ending followed suit as I found it rather meaningless. Also she didn't really have a good handle on what the late 50's were really like. Heck I was a teenage babysitter in the late 60's and all I got was 25 cents an hour....I was absolutely amazed that Nora's teenage babysitter got paid 4x that amount!! This was the first Alice Hoffman book I have read and it was a let down.
