A slice-of-life story from Ann Patchett, who has a gift for crawling inside people's minds and seeing how life looks to them. This is not nearly as intense as "Bel Canto", but her characters are real and the story rings true.

2/20/05: Passing on to Ri. If she doesn't have anyone else in mind for it, I'll ask her to send it along to a friend of mine in Florida who is a big Ann Patchett fan. Enjoy!

The missing book finally surfaces! Jamesmum sent this book to me last year via my sister's place since I was living in Canada at the time and was planning to visit my sis. Somehow the package got placed in a "mystery box" and was left undiscovered until this past weekend when I was helping my sister clean out her basement. How exciting to finally have this book! Thanks for sending it Jamesmum. It is always so exiting for me when a book resurfaces!

Thanks for passing this on Ri!!!
