Review title: A brief taste, but no substance
Product review: Elizabeth Berg books are a treat to be savored and "Ordinary Life" had all the promise of another delight. All the necessary parts are there, characters who ring true, family dynamics, true to ear dialogue.....but this book falls short. With all these pluses, it is all tossed into a thrown together book that seems more like some story outlines, not actual stories. Each story is brief, too brief and each one suffers from the brivity. There is no opportunity to develop each story, just a scrap here and there......This book is a disappointment, perhaps because I have come to expect more. This is like Elizabeth Berg lite. Go back to one of her others, and pass this one by.
