Another whiny woman with a decent life but who kvetches about everything. ( ) I did not like this book at all. In fact, soon after I started reading it I began skimming it, something I only do with really bad books. The main character had no redeeming qualities, in my opinion, and therefore was just not someone you cared about. So why would you want to read her musings,her thoughts and actions? You don't. Or at least I didn't. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
What does it take to be happy? How happy is happy enough? And what does "happy" mean, anyway? So asks Sally Farber-wife, mother, daughter, friend, working woman, and lover-in this wise and funny novel about a woman's search for happiness in some of the right, and a few of the wrong, places. Summer in the city looms long for Sally Farber when she sends her two daughters off to camp for the first time. Suddenly freed of her usual patterns in a city that becomes a grown-up's playground,, she embarks on a journey unlike any she's ever had-filled with guilty pleasures and guilty pains. Caught between the past (cleaning out her childhood apartment as her demanding mother offers edicts from South Carolina) and the future (facing her first semi-empty nest), Sally finds herself unexpectedly involved with a powerful, unpredictable man. And as she researches a book whose very topic is happiness, she must weigh the relative merits of prescriptions for its attainment offered by Aristotle and the Dalai Lama, Freud and Charles Schulz, scented candles and Zoloft, her mother and her best friend. The answer comes, in the end, from a surprising discovery, in this rich and original novel about how we can find, and ultimately embrace, both happiness and love.
