Summary: good and sad
Comment: This book was beautifully written, engrossing, and I truly couldn't put it down until I finished. However, it was so utterly depressing. It wasn't the kind of sad that was a tear-jerker, I actually didn't cry. Rather, after finishing it I just felt depressed, and felt as though it left me hanging.

Summary: One Good Book
Comment: This is a touching and well-written book that portrays mother-daughter and family relationships in all their complexity. It's realistic, yet filled with tender and even humorous moments. As a mother and author myself, of NEW PSALMS FOR NEW MOMS: A KEEPSAKE JOURNAL, I value all of our mothers who do so much for their children. Isn't it ironic that so much of what her mother created in their home was taken for granted by the heroine, Ellen, until she is faced with her mother's untimely death?

Summary: One of the few books that made me cry!
Comment: Believe it or not, it was used in my English class.... and we had many discussions over the book and we didn't just simply talk about the plot but rather the deep human nature beyond the plot. I don't remember much of it right now as we read it quite a while ago.
As I was nearing to the end of Part 1, I realized that I just couldn't put the book down, the mother's on the deathbed, Ellen's still in shock that her mother would not be around soon and there were no trace of George in the household. The clock was ticking and the suspension was reaching to the climax... I just had to keep going.... I read the book from the end of my classes... all the way through dinner and after that....
I thought that plot, the characterization, the brewing conflicts... all beautifully written. She is definitely a master in leading the reader to the wrong conclusion and I have re-read sections over again, trying to figure out how she did it! It was my first Anna Quidlen book and perhaps I will try Black and Blue in the future.
