Perhaps I was not in the mood to read this type book. I know it has received high reviews from newspapers, magazines, friends and bookcrossers but I did not find it to be an amazing book. It is certainly well written but I just was not that into this book. I found it to be sad. But that is my opinion only.

I am looking forward to reading the JEs on this book to try and gain a better perspective on it. Sometimes, you need to hear what others think to be enlightened. So BCers - please enlighten me! Happy Bookcrossing!

Sending out to a Paperbackswap member. Enjoy!

I just received this book in the mail through Paperbackswap and was curious about the label in the front of the book which led me here. I recently read an interesting article wondering why women writers are frequently ignored when the topic of the 'great American novel' is discussed and this novel was one that was mentioned as a possible inclusion to that list. I will read it and share my thoughts
