Title: Lucky me
Product review: As you can see, this book got nothing less than 4 and 5 star reviews and for good reason. Aside from the excellent writing style, which doesn't insult your intelligence like Sarah's Key, Joan Silber is one astute author and does not disappoint (Olive Kitteridge and Household Words are also excellent reads). The characters and story in Lucky Us were believable and interesting. Here's a book you look forward to picking up again. And when you remember it's waiting for you on the nightstand, you quicken your step to retire. I also appreciate books that don't introduce a surplus of characters who could have been left out. This book focused mainly on two. Although, when I finished the book I felt a bit let down. In retrospect I realize I was just plain sorry it ended. Yeah, it's one of those rare books you didn't waste your money on.
