Title: Songs in Ordinary Time -A long dreary book
Review: I devoted a week to reading the 740 pages of this book. I can't remember when I was more disappointed by an author particularty one selected by Oprah's book club. The book is without a character with redeeming qualities and filled with despair and self pitying adults who continue theit self-destructive bahaviors without acknowledging them . Even the children fail to engender any sympathy or much pity. The few characters the reader has some hopeful feelings for ( Sam,Blue,Norm) are left incomplete by the author. Mary McGarry Morris has written a depressing book.
