"This book is about the character finding out her husband is having an affair. It is a good book because as a woman it's usually hard to see the man's point of view but this book made me see the man's point of view. "

" I read this several years ago and remember that the main character's rambling was a bit much; too distracting. Other than that I cared enough about her to see it through to the end. "

" I loved the story and have always been a big fan of this author. I just got bogged down with so much poetry talk. I do appreciate the intelligent and thoughtful way that this book was written though. I thoroughly enjoyed the way Ms. Turner developped Elizabeth and brought her personality to life. "
