Search - Rise and Shine

Anna Quindlen has developed an enormously likable writing voice, and by telling her tale through the humble voice of an unassuming naif, she allows her readers the illusion that we all might live securely within the velvety pink confines of the New York maw, safely out of the way of those silver teeth. She makes the city accessible and downright neighborly.

i didn't like it as much as i thought i would.

I actually really liked it. It started out slow but then it picked up fast.

Quindlen is a talented writer, it is her writing, more than the story, that stays with you.

Not exactly what I expected, but I still wanted to know how it ended.

Just finished reading this. A great book and a great read. A wonderful book about relationships.

Good family drama about sisters!

Good Quindlen drama!

Excellent, one of her best, but all of Quindlen's novels are good.

Anns Quindlen "rises and shines" again.

It's an otherwise ordinary Monday when Mehgan Fitzmaurice's perfect life hits a wall. A household name as the host of the country's highest rated morning television talk show, "Rise and Shine" Meghan cuts to a break - but not before she does something that, in an instant, marks the end of an era, not only for Mehgan who is unaccustaomed to dealng with adversity, but also for her younger sister, Bridget. A social worker in the Bronx, Bridget has always lived in Mehgan's long shadow. The impact of Mehgan's on-air truth telling reverberates through both their lives affecting Mehgan's son, husband, friends and fans as well as Bridget's perception of her sister, their complex childhood and herself.

Good story.
