Fern Kupfer is an insightful, reflective writer who observes the profound in the mundane. Her portrayal of intimate relationships is raw and relatable. I first read this book years ago, and loved reading it again for the 80s throwback feels.

How can I write a review of a book I read for my book group back in December 1994. I was half-crazed with a nearly two year old daughter who did not speak, but sang, and a four year old daughter who knew everything.

So I sort of recall discussing this book with some of the very best, most intelligent people in my life, but not really. So I will give it three stars and move forward with my life.

Although I read the synopsis of the book, once I began reading it I lost sight about what the plot of the book was. The author did a great job of keeping us waiting, and guessing as to which character was the protagonist. As interesting as the perspective was, I can't say that I would recommend reading it, as the plot that was revealed is a bit dry and anticlimactic.

A bit of a throwback to earlier times. Enjoyable.

Kein Verlust, es nicht gelesen zu haben. Zwei Freundinnen begeben sich mit ihren Kindern in der USA auf den Weg quer durch das Land nach Kalifornien und da passiert sehr wenig. Langweilig!

I enjoyed this book however at times I felt there was too much extraneous information in it. I felt like the book could have ended 20 pages sooner. There was a dinner near the end of the book (this is not giving anything away) and the author mentions two male characters in particular that are eying each other. It really had nothing to do with the plot and was irrelevant to the whole story.
