by Anna Quindlen
Another great Anna Quindlen book (10/11/2006)
Thoroughly enjoyed this book about the relationship between sisters after one of them ends up in hot water and how it affects the rest of her family. I would recommend this book very highly. It would be a great book club pick.
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits

Great Book (3/28/2006)
This was a very good book. A real page turner. I enjoyed the devleopment of the relationship between Emilia and William. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books that delve into relationships. The stepmother/stepchild was very interesting to read about.
