Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-28 00:00:00 Lyle K Hardesty This book--written by my former writing teacher!--shows readers the inner workings of an older Jewish American woman and her neuroses triggered by thoughts and feelings about her spouse, religion, sons, new lover, and more. It makes me realize I do not want a mind that active, as I can't imagine having that. And then I wonder: does almost everyone have a mind that active and neurotic, and if we were to see it in print we'd think just as I think about this book's co-main character? This is an enjoyable read with a quirky cast of characters.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-09 00:00:00 Travis Willis Found the characters down to earth, well developed, believable. Enjoyed learning a little about Israel through the eyes of a Midwestern family as tourists. Laugh out loud satire at times, and other times painful and yet funny, like when someone trips and falls, but they are okay. In this book, the characters trip up often, but you can laugh with them because you feel they will be okay in the end.
