I really wanted to enjoy this book. I typically like to read about lives of people and a family and how they weave into one another without even knowing that they do so. But, this one did not keep my interest. There was a lot of focus on religion, not that it was a religious book...just too many mentions of it for me. I also found the characters needing more depth or assistance. They seemed fairly flat or concerned with themselves. I typically understand that in a book about individuals, but the characters just didn't have enough "glow" about them for me. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I enjoyed this book of interconnected short stories. Perhaps one of the reasons many readers found this book confusing and unsatisfying is because they were reading it as a straight novel. This has been marketed as a novel, and I think if it had been presented as short stories, it would make more sense to readers. Apparently, many of the "chapters" had been published separately, so it's no surprise that some find them a little disconnected. Once again, faulty marketing seems to be the big problem here. These are well-written stories that amount to far more than the "gossipy rich people in a suburb" description on the back of the book.

I found it hard to connect to all of the characters and didn't think they stories flowed together. I did end up liking this book but not fully loving it. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I had some trouble connecting with the suburban characters in the book but once I got them all straight I caught up with laughs and ohhhs.

Though separate narratives the stories show the interconnected lives of these neighbors. The stories reveal the spectrum of han emotions- love and despair, hope and loss,love and sorrow. Good narrative. Found it a little difficult to keep track of characters and had to refer to listing in front of book often. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Brafman's talent for drawing human emotion shines through in this episodic, deeply sensitive, and introspective novel of the human psyche." --Booklist Bertrand Courtis a captivating novel told in story form, intertwining seventeen luminous narratives about the secrets of a cast of politicos, filmmakers, and housewives, all tied to a suburban Washington, DC, cul-de-sac. Linked through bloodlines and grocery lines, they respond to life's bruises by grabbing power, sex, or the family silver. As they atone and forgive, they unmask the love and truth that hop white picket fences. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
