I enjoyed this book. While the characters in the story are a bit one-dimensional, the relationships and interactions make the story come alive. Meri's naïveté, particularle after 20 years of marriage, doesn't match her intelligence. Yet the story reflects that all of us
…more make choices, and often our choices have unexpected and far-reaching consequences.
I also enjoyed the science and history reflected throughout the book. While fictional, it is an educational and accurate portrayal.
I highly recommend this book for women's book clubs, as it will foster a lively and thoughtful discussion about the choices we all have made. The book is not appropriate for high school groups, due the several more graphic passage.
The book is now on my "recommended" list! (less)
