After reading Orphan Train by same author, I thought I'd found a new author that would thrill me with her excellent storytelling. Christina Baker Kline is, indeed, an excellent writer but Bird in Hand just didn't have the punch and fervor of Orphan Train. Story of two couples, the wives having been best friends since grade school, their husbands two very different personalities. Tragedy early in book makes them question themselves and their relationships. Flashbacks to college years, building the basis of their personalities but not strongly relevant to story. Predictable ending was major disappointment. Will give Ms. Kline another chance tho as her style is an easy read.
