Negative Positive
Title: This is one of my all-time favorite books!
Review: I love this book! I love the way that each character narrates a chapter in the first half during the 1960s and then in the second half during the 1990s. This approach perfectly captures what it is like to view the world as a child, and then look back on things as an adult and realize that they were not always as they seemed. I think that the writing is marvelous and that the antics of the characters are humorous, sad, inspiring, and abhorrent all at once. I did not like the sequel (Divine Secrets...) as well. If you are a woman or have childhood issues with your parents that you are dealing with, I think you will relate to this wonderful narrative. It is like a movie where all the lines are written and delivered perfectly and you just want to watch it over and over.
