Title: A Lyrical Masterpiece
Review: This is a wonderful book. It takes you to its sweet bosom and enchants you with life in Monroe, Mass. all sweet and lovely, then it slams you upside the head with heartbreak. Alice Hoffman has done it to me before but never to this extent. This is a book of life...it is sweet and funny and tender and tragic nd ugly and nasty. I read this immediately after reading We Were the Mulvaneys and what a gruesome twosome. The act of rape is ugly but what it does to the lives of people involved is staggering. A great read, not always fun but certainly powerful and insightful A must read.
