I've never really wanted to read this book, mainly because I thought the trailer for the movie looked so incredibly stupid. I know, I know. I'm not even really sure where the recommendation to read it came from this time; I think it showed up in the "new ebooks" section on my library's website a couple of months ago and I slapped a request on it without really thinking, so when I got the notice that it was available I went ahead and checked it out. And I loved it. It reminded me of the women's fiction I used to like to read in the 80s and 90s, about the time this book was published--the kind of thing my book group used to read. I stayed up way too late for a couple of days in a row. My family couldn't pry my Nook away from me. I didn't like the characters much, except for the mother and one of the brothers (although I had a hard time telling the brothers apart; maybe that was the point). I think that actually made it a more effective story; it's easy to read about relationships between likable people. The ones between people who aren't necessarily very likable are more interesting. I loved the way Quindlen explored the dynamic between parents and their adult children, and what happens when their respective roles change--it was like probing an achy tooth with your tongue. It hurts, but you just... can't... stop. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
