Negative Positive
Title: never change
Review: I have read all of Elizabeth Berg's books and enjoyed them. However, this one depressed me. The character of Myra was pathetic! She had an education and wonderful career. It was made clear that Myra had chosen a single life by keeping men at bay. Yet the book focused on her age, looks and an unhealthy love for a dying man she knew from high school. Having Myra consider and plan a co-suicide with this cancer victim was disturbing, sending a message that a woman needs a man in order to survive. Ms. Berg, this is 2001. What happened to your positive female role models? The women survivors who do their grieving and then take control? I am so disappointed.
