I liked the look into mothers who want to continue with their lives the way Elizabeth did, and the way that her diaries push Kate to remember how she was thinking of doing similar.Charliehttp://wormhole.carnelianvalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-25062501684988401732012-09-18T10:09:46.740-04:002012-09-18T10:09:46.740-04:00Lovely review.

It, too, is about a woman who is entrusted with her friend's writing by the family after the friend dies. It, too, deals with secrets and keeping things hidden as well as family, but other than that has a completely different tone. Arsenault also does a great job of differentiating her voice between the journal entries and the story narrative.Karen Whitehttp://karenwhiteaudiobooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-3459748134271842272012-09-18T00:55:42.947-04:002012-09-18T00:55:42.947-04:00I fell in love with this novel when I read a much ...I fell in love with this novel when I read a much shorter review of it somewhere else, but this is the first review I've read that truly does the book justice.

It's rare that someone delves below the "how well do we know our friends and spouses" level, and she does, so well.
