Helpful Score: 1

The book was magnificently crafted, portraying unique but believable chracters that were wonderfully developed. It never ceases to amaze me how Ann Patchett, an obviously well-educated, white woman from a comfortable, functional family background (she's close to her mom), and who never had children herselef, grew up to write about such diverse human characters and experiences (male, African-American, troubled young adults, single pregnant women, distant mothers) as if she literally lived their lives.
