I read as much as I'm going to - not my kind of book - sorry. Parts were a little far-fetched, but Sullivan perfectly captures life at a women's college. I didn't go to Smith, but I recognized so much of the culture and tradition from my own women's college that I was laughing aloud through much of the book. If you've experienced life at a women's college, settle in with Commencement and an Indigo Girls mix, and be prepared for a trip down memory lane.
Sullivan’s gifts are substantial. By the end you’re rooting for her to let her storytelling talents roam out into less protected territory. J. Courtney Sullivan’s “Commencement” is one of this year’s most inviting summer novels. Even as several subplots take soapy turns, the author manages to find that sweet spot between Serious Literature and chick lit. Commencement is a beach book for smart women — and the girls they once were. Readable, but dated and lackluster.

HTML:The bestselling author of Maine brings us a sparkling tale of friendship and a fascinating portrait of the first generation of women who have all the opportunities in the world, but no clear idea about what to choose. Assigned to the same dorm their first year at Smith College, Celia, Bree, Sally, and April couldnâ??t have less in common. Celia, a lapsed Catholic, arrives with a bottle of vodka in her suitcase; beautiful Bree pines for the fiancĂ© she left behind in Savannah; Sally, preppy and obsessively neat, is reeling from the loss of her mother; and April, a radical, redheaded feminist wearing a â??Riot: Donâ??t Dietâ?ť T-shirt, wants a room transfer immediately. Written with radiant style and a wicked sense of humor, Commencement follows these unlikely friends through college and the years beyond, brilliantly capturing the complicated landscape facing youn Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
