Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-24 00:00:00 Eric Caldwell I'm so lucky that I get to narrate. I've always loved acting and writing, and this is the best of both worlds. And every once in a while, I get a chance to narrate a book that resonates in me, like a plucked string. This is one of those books. When I was sixteen, I tried to read "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner and I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on, so I went outside, and sitting under a willow tree on a picnic table that sagged, I read that book out loud, using different accents. Suddenly, I got it. I mean, I GOT it. The characters jumped out to me. And I also got something else. I got that words, well-written words, are musical. This book reminds me that words are both musical and magical. I know this is an older book, so if you haven't read it, pick it up. It's a dramatic piece, but I think the themes of marriage, love, family and hope are so relatable. If you don't read it yourself, I'll hope you'll listen to the audio. I tried to stay true to Berg's characters, and I have to say that while reading it out loud, there were moments were I was just swept away..by the beauty and emotion and just, well, realness, I guess. I'm so honored that I was allowed to give her words voice. What a lovely story.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-22 00:00:00 Patrick Fernandez I first read this 21 years ago. I liked it then; it was the first Elizabeth Berg novel I'd ever read, and turned me into a lifelong fan of hers. Reading it now, however... it was so much more. I just appreciated it so much more. I don't know if it's because I'm older and wiser, or a more discerning reader, or what the difference is but the entire book was just so much more beautiful and meaningful this time around.
