Hoping for more after reading other reviews. For me, it was just "eh."

For some reason, I was hoping for more.....more heart, more angst. But I didn't feel it, and I'm not sure why. I also thought that it didn't portray the central character in a good light. Don't want to spoil it, but I think you'll see why. Although it was a good read, and Packer wrote it beautifully, it should have asked the question, how much do we owe ourselves in relationship with those we love?

Excellent, readable, understandable, and inspiring book about energizing American Jewry, outlining specific goals and means for attaining them. Highly recommended for anyone concerned about the future of Jews in America.

A page-turner, as are all of Shreve's books. I've never read a bad one, or one that didn't make me wish it went longer. The perfect escape. No real redeeming value, just a great book to take you away from the trials and tribulations of life for awhile.

It's what you would expect.....escapism to a place where women can understand the need to go. Absolutely no redeeming value, no great lessons to be learned. Simply a book for women who want to go somewhere else for awhile.
