Agree -- Carrie Brown's books have always been "quiet" ones, but she has great powers of lyricism and always seems to be taking a look at lives that I recognize. BUT in this case, the prose seemed not as special as in her other books, the plot more listless and the characters not specifically motivated enough.
2020 - have given this a reread and decide to up the star count. This time I relished all of Brown's strengths on display and didn't mind some of the things I mentioned before. The prose DOES stand up to her other books, even if the plot is a bit more subdued. Sometimes it's all about what's going on in your own life when you read something and this time it was very poignant for me.
