A story of a fifty something woman, Rachel, who goes back home to Maine after the death of her mother. She hasn't been back for ten years and let her sister, Celeste take care of their very difficult mother during her last illness. Lots of angst.

Amazing book. Not sure why I liked it so much. Mainly the main character Rachel and the decisions she makes. Maybe her philosophy on climate change. Maybe her weird kindness. Maybe Aunt Jean. Even without an epilogue and things not tied up in a neat bow this was a great read.

Ah, midlife crisis. Bad girls in Mexico City. Christensen's writing is consistently a pleasure.

One star ... I guess you can tell I didn't like this book. It's the story of middle age women, best friends, in crisis. One is a therapist bored with her marriage; the other is an ex-drug addict, fading/aging rock star. They go away to Mexico and party like they're teenagers. (I didn't quite understand how a therapist wouldn't see the dangers of supporting and participating in drinking binges with her friend who had addiction problems!) I didn't care about either character one way or the other. This was a disappointing read.… (mais)
