"Clare, from a working-class Protestant family, has never met anyone like Sally: wealthy, pretty, and Jewish, barely emancipated from her close-knit Los Angeles family. Over the decades, Clare is drawn deeper into the circle of Sally's family-until she uncovers the kind of secret that no one wants to tell a best friend."

Library sale find.

I'm not sure how I felt about this book. Just finished it for book club, and I think it'll make a fairly good discussion book, but after a rather long read, I didn't get a very good feeling of closure at the end of the book. It covered a lot of ground, lots of topics, but the way the author jumped back & forth in time was sort of confusing at times. I found I could relate to Clare's character, but not to Sally's really at all. And considering they were supposed to be best friends, I never felt like they were really very "close." For me, it's a hard one to rate.

This one's going into my trade paperback bookbox....

I nabbed this from Indygo88's Trade Paperback Bookbox. It looks wonderful.
