" Anna Quindlen's writing is such beautiful use of the English language. She can capture a sense, or a moment, so perfectly. In this novel, it is all about mothering and our connections to our children. It feels as if someone were reading my mind and was then able to condense my thoughts and feelings into concise and articulate words. There is not a fast moving plot, but the inner dialogue of the main character is so compelling. I couldn't put it down. "
