Title: We Were the Mulvaneys
Review: This is not just another rape story...it is a date rape story before there were such things. It is the story of a family that had respect, a father that wanted to be a considered somebody, a mother that didn't solcialize well and children in their teens all trying to fit in somehow. The characters are all very well developed. The situations and time passing changes are truthful and yet unexpected.The trouble with this book is that a college professor should know that a book written by one person can not be all knowing. It makes me wonder if Joyce Carol Oates actually wrote this piece of work. It is not her style and certainly not the quality of work one would expect from someone teaching others in a higher education capacity.This book has a message and gives a great deal of food for thought, and even has characters in it we can all point to as someone we know or are, but who really wrote it?
Is the review positive or negative?
