Michelle S. (Mich-in-Mich) reviewed on 9/2/2008

This is great little book. Carol Shields knows how to weave a tightly woven story. It's a story about a young woman who moves across the country from her family and considers herself very independent. But when circumstances bring the family together, the reader realizes just how much the woman has been shaped, molded and even tied to her upbringing 17 years after she left the family nest. It's a character study of a family that makes you think long after you've finished the book.
