Although dark, difficult subject, an engrossing read. Excellent characterizations. Enlightening and heartbreaking at same time.

Kinsella is not my cup of tea - nor my choice in authors, but to some it's very funny and romantic.

Another Kaye Gibbons book that I enjoyed very much. Her characters come alive; Gibbons makes reader care what happens to every one of them.

One of le Carre's best. The political conflict, the well drawn characters, the intrigue held me captive till late hours. See the movie, but read the book, too!

A good read. I like Gibbon's portrayals of Southern women and she's a good storyteller.

I got this book from this site for reading with my book discussion group. We had a great discussion of it. We not only liked the story, but were entranced by Shreves use of words and phrases, her description of physical surroundings, her insight into people's feelings, especially of those suffering emotional hurts. We were very impressed that it is her first novel. Others made a bigger 'splash' - The Pilot's Wife, etc. - but we think this one deserves lots of readers.

Absorbing, delightful novel. I'm wondering how I missed in the mis '80s. Characterizations superb; descriptive language throughout. One of the best novels I've read recently.

Excellent annotated list of books for girls of all ages. From back cover: "In these books, girls and women are creative, capable, articulate, and intelligent, solving problems, facing challenges, resolving conflicts, and going on quests. They are not sidekicks or tokesn, waiting to be rescued; they are doing the rescuing. Nor are thay waiting for a male to provide a happy ending.
