Title: Like Normal People
Review: This shapely, loving, glowing novel moved me so much; all the way through I kept thinking, "Well, THIS scene must be the climax, it's so heart-wrenching (or it's such an epiphany, or the writing is so darned beautiful)" -- but what a payoff in the final pages! The characters are funny and vain and hopeful and tender and utterly believable, especially the 45-year-old retarded Lena and her control-freaky mother, Ella -- but 12-year-old Shelley is also rendered with great sensitivity. This novel has everything: unflagging plot, memorable characters, layers of meaning and complexity, and beautiful, sometimes quirky, always unexpected writing.
