There is a song by They Might Be Giants called #3, this books reminds me of that. It goes "There is only 2 songs in me and I just wrote 3rd, don't how I got the inspration or how I found the words..."
This book is really just a rehashing of Little Alters and Divine Secrets. This didn't not tell anything new, just said the same things over and over. It was like the best of the Ya-ya books.
I was disapointed, it was Ms. Well has one story and she just keeps telling over and over.
She is just stuck with these people in the early 60's. It is a shame.
With such rich materal and the title of the book, I was hoping to read about these women when they were growing up and becoming women and mothers. All I got was the same stuff over and over.
It would have been nice to hear about the childhood,and high school and the years before marrage when Vivi and Caro were in New York and how they met their husbands and how they became mothers.
That is what in Bloom means to me, to become somthing, not to hear the same stories over and over again from a 68 yr old women and thier 30 something children about things that happen in the 60's.
A disapointment to say the least.
