This was my first Elizabeth Berg novel. I will be reading all of them. This novel was so good that i can not part with it, I want all my friends to read it first. This was such a moving novel about mother and daughter and old wounds that still aren't healed. I loved this book. It was totaly worth all the time I spent with it.
A great read. Berg is never dissappointing. This will tug at your heart but will make you feel good & think more of ones relationship with their mother.
I thought this would be better than it actually was.
A beautifully written story about the threads mothers weave through their children's lives, the painful, joyful and lasting.
Berg creates very real characters in this quick read. A very compelling story. One of the best I've read in a long time.
love this author, this one reads very quick, but i did not find it as emotionally moving as some of her others. however, the story itself is very absorbing.
Carol G. (I had two of this book and have not finished it but it is Beautifully written and touching. I read "Open House" by Berg and loved it.
