Received in the mail today from elefteria as part of a bookring. Am looking forward to reading it.
Sometimes I wanted to scream at these characters to listen to each other, to talk to each other about how they felt, to have compassion, to value each other, to communicate! They all seemed to use their energy protecting themselves. This book deals with the complexities of marital and familial
love and how everyone handles loss in their own way.It's very well written.
Now this book will be sent on to the next person on the ring as soon as I get an address.

Just received today from loveamystery. I'm a bit stressed as I have received 3 bookring books in less than a week, two on the same day! I'll go as fast as humanly possible. Please be patient with me. Thanks :)
update: still reading and enjoying while in the middle of a relocation that has turned into a nightmare. Am using an unreliable laptop now. Just wanted to let all of you know the book is in good hands! thanks for your patience and not sure when I can get back online.
I absolutely loved this book! Thanks to all in the ring for your patience during my move. Am sending off tomorrow to mamikaem. :)
Received this while I was out of town for a few days. This will be my first Anne Tyler book. So many people have recommended her books to me so I am happy to begin with this book ring! I love the notes in the back from previous readers (and also the book marks!) Looking forward to reading this!
UPDATE: 08/20/2005 - finally finished the book ring I had before this and have already delved into this one!

Finished this one this morning with a note of sadness. I suppose because there was a lot of unfinished business, but I guess real life is just like that at times. I loved how the story was written from various points of view. However some things happened but the reader never learns the outcome. For example, the neighbor, Alex, whom Pauline had a thing for. Whatever became of that?
Awaiting the next address before I send it on its way.

I have sent several PMs to those after me, both EnchantedWoods and Digimike and one to Elefteria, the originator of this book ring, but have received no responses! So I will hold onto this book until I receive further notice.
UPDATE: 09/06/2005 - Apparently there must be a problem with the PMS, but at last I heard from Elefteria. This book will be mailed today.

I got this book today from Elefteria. Thanks for sending it, Mamikaem!
I finally read this book. It took me a while to start in it because it is a quite depressive book, however when I finally did, I really liked it. I especially liked the authors writing style, she can describe little domestic things and very subtle points out that because those little things, the marriage is not going to work, even though this couple is also not able to live without each other. Thanks for borrowing this book, Elefteria, I will give it to you next Sunday!
the book is home again! maybe to be released in obcz-samsam.
thank you all for the personal notes :-))

Journal Entry 16 by Heaven-Ali from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Sunday, July 9, 2006
Well I had promised myself a lazy relaxed Sunday, and I've certainly had that. Apart from going out for some food shopping, my lazy Sunday has mainly been about this book. I started it this morning before I got dressed, and have read it a various intervals through the day, to finish it this evening. What a lovely Sunday read Anne Tyler is, I really can't believe I have read so few of her books. There is so much sadness in this novel, and yet it remains so readable, totally engrossing. The characters are frustrating sometimes, I frequently wanted to shake Pauline, and at other times felt for her, as she struggled to understand her husaband and her children. This book has made me absolutely determined to read more by this author. Thank you Elefteria for sending me this book, it has made my Sunday, I'll be going to work tomorrow so much more relaxed now.
