I wanted to love this book but it was not possible. Oh, there's a lot to love - Patchett could not write a book that wasn't at least a little lovable but this one misses the mark a bit. I thought my book was missing pages towards the end ... so much time had passed between the body of the work and the ending but apparently that's what she intended. Still ... it's a good book and she's a good author - certainly better than many who are steady visitors to the "Best Sellers Lists." One can hardly call them authors - they're machines who simply re-tool their work (Patterson, Steele, etal). Patchett is a good author and I look forward to her next book.
