“My favorite line, "Humans, no matter what they did, could not hide their incandescence." This was my first read of any in the Wolitzer family and while I was first taken aback at the sudden introduction of new characters, I began to enjoy this approach. It helped that I read it in the course of a couple of days; I didn't forget who was who. I enjoyed her descriptions and imagery as well as how she, from time to time, brings the children into the story. It's engaging - to be shown the "kid's point of view" and how the adult applies it to her own life. ”
