" In need a category for lovely. KIng has a wonderful way of getting us into the mind of a character. Astrid is trying to figure out who she is which, of course, it frustrating for the others in her life, not that their lives are in anyway pulled together. When she needs to think, she lies on the picnic table in her backyard and sends love to the passengers in the planes flying overhead. And, yes, we do get a glimpse into the lives of those passengers. Astrid's questions help us find our own. "
