Title: An Astounding Novel, True to Life
Product review: This beautifully written novel brims with life -- or, rather, lives. Somehow Caroline Leavitt manages to convey all the complexities of a fraught situation - an open adoption that ends up being more complex than any of the principals could have imagined - with clarity and focus and an incredible empathy for each character. As the novel progresses you grow to care about, and more importantly, understand, each one of them, though all have faults and foibles. Like real people, these characters act out of desperation and hope and love and anger. Leavitt's realistic dialogue and acutely detailed description are pitch perfect. This book lives and breathes. I loved reading it!
