Title: thought provoking coming of age in the face of tragedy
Review: Our bookclub read this book which provided lively and passionate emotional feelings on behalf of all of our members. We were all in agreeement that this book is extremely well written; lovely use of metaphor and imagery. We were divided as to the nature of Carrie's abrupt departure. Some of us (therapists) believed that Carrie was in a state of exteme crisis and was unable to fulfill the "obligations" others of us felt were appropriate for someone in her position. Exactly what did Carrie owe Mike? This led us to explore deeply held values as to the nature of family and sense of obligation. It was one of our best discussions ever. I would highly recommend this book and will look forward to others from this author.
