has anyone read this?

i read her first book. Housekeeping for the book club i was part of in philly (we met at a bar called Tattoed Moms, hehe) and really liked that one. i know that she wrote this one 10+ years after that one, so i'm wondering if that's why it feels so different.

it's really pretty, but i keep waiting for it to start going somwhere. anyone have any info for me? haha.

Divine Miss M-

All that I can tell you is that it is just very pretty. I read Housekeeping first and loved it, too, which steered me to this.

This is not about the plot so much as it is about the writing.

Did that help? Probably not too much.. :roll:
