Title: I kept wondering what I was missing
Review: I went to a local library book club meeting to discuss Digging to America. No one liked it much but there was a good ending that tied all the details of the characters together. It was suggesed that Breathing Lessons was better. But it didn't even have the punch at the end. The only person I felt truly sorry for was Ira and would have felt sorry for Leroy but she was largly ingnored by the author. Maggie was what a mother is - not seeing the faults of her son but imagines him as a better person. The book was a good portrayal of a middle class existance, something I don't have much interest in reading as it is mandane. I could understand why Daisy would not want to spend much time at home.
