Title: Heartwarming and Sentimental
Review: After the Rain was an OK book. The names the author chose were a little corny, though. I mean, come on! Izzy, Helena, and Lewis Olswanger are not at the top of my list for character names. Otherwise, though, despite my name critique, the plot was good. I too have a grandfather much like Izzy--very stubborn. He also died recently. The author, Ms. Mazer, must have had someone close to her die in a similar manner (or else she is very good at fabrications!) because the death of Izzy was very, um, accurately portrayed, if I may say that. The book was great, but a little tough to get into.
