Title: Very nicely done
Product review: A literate, well-written book that flows smoothly, is interesting, and makes you think. It is very much a woman's book -- a lot of emphasis on intra-family relationships, cooking, holiday times, seasonal changes, aging -- rather than a bam/bang mystery story. (I get the distinct imporession that all the other reviewers to date are women). Not my usual cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author's prose style is clear and flows so smoothly...I have also enjoyed her earlier work. Buy this book whether you are a man or a woman if you appreciate excellent writing. Stronger on characterization and description than on plot, but so what? Only 4 stars because the ending sort of trails off rather than resolving much of anything, but up to then it is a very nice read.
