Brilliant. Avid reader! Did not want this book to end.

Mothers. A loving and caring story about Mothers, children and forgiving. She has written a beautiful saga of women's life's intertwining. I of course understand how she ended this story, but I was sad nonetheless that it did.

Highbrow chick lit. Part of what might be called a genre of chick lit written by extremely high-achieving women, usually with former backgrounds in demanding corporate jobs. The writing is almost predictably good, the kind an Ivy League professor loves to grade as "A" (not A-!). But the precision of description struck me as overly conscientious. The most convincing parts was the description of high-end expat life which the author, as the wife of a senior financier, is probably better placed than anyone to discuss, and the escalation of Margaret's conflicted grief. I did wish for a bit more snark in the former, bur overall very well done. The weak points was Mercy (who comes off as a pallid knockoff of Minjin Lee's "Casey" character in Free Food for Millionaires) and Hilary, who struggles with childlessness does not really ring true. It felt as if the author was merely transcribing secondhand the experiences of someone who has had fertility issues. Above all the ending's sentimentality compromises the quality of the book - it would have been stronger without the epilogue.

Moving and beautiful.. Couldn’t put this beautiful book down. Incredible.
