Title: Delightful
Review: I loved this novel. The story of the extended Hill family who all, for various reasons return to their vast family home, where Aunt Lily lives alone, was simply a delight to read. Nothing heavy hear, just a wonderful set of stories about the flaws and follies of these various family members. The story is well-told and often very amusing. I found myself laughing out loud in public places--it takes a great book to make me do that. I know others have problems with the sentences in the novel, but I have to disagree. Reading, the actual act of reading this novel was a bit like talking with a rather educated chatterbox with a sharp eye and a terrific sense of humor. The sentences and paragraphs may meander, but they get you where you need to be by a scenic and thoroughly amusing route. The novel does not have (and frankly does not need) a plot that keeps moving forward. You are not really going to wonder what will happen next, but I assure you, you won't want to miss what happens. Enjoy.
