Review title: A lesser novel
Product review: This story was not convincing. First, there is a dream sequence, about midway into the book, that is so linear and realistic that I felt embarrassed for the author. Second, the story came to a sudden and too perfect conclusion, as though the author surrendered to who knows what. Third, there's all this alcoholism, with no consideration of how the alcoholism dooms the characters' unwritten futures, despite the cheery ending. I would have been much more hopeful for the characters if Agnes never returned and, instead, Caroline and others began attending AA meetings.
