Title: Good plot, bad writing
Review: The subject of this book is very important and told with a social conscience, but oh goodness, Ms. Waldman writes fiction like a ballerina wearing a scuba suit. I don't know whether to applaud her social conscience or ream her for what she's done to the minimum standards generally accepted in the world of fiction. A recomended read, if you promise not to think this is an example of wonderful prose or ignore the fact that she probably had a little advantage getting started. In time, her style may improve. Her heart is already there.
