Title: A Woman Represses Herself to be Socially Appropriate
Review: This well-written novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1995. It is a well-written story about an inter-generational family, centered around a woman who distances herself from her core impulses and desires in order to be socially appropriate.The story is peopled by many eccentrics such as a man who creates a tower sculpture of limestone to commemorate his dead wife. Each piece of limestone has tiny sculpted pieces on it. This same man then builds a scale model pyramid in his backyard.While superficially warm and eccentric, the book's characters are somehow distant and guarded. I enjoyed this book very much.
