Comment on More Than Enough by Anna Quindlen by Catherine

In reply to Susan. Agreed. Maybe the softness is what worked for me right now. Decent, caring people even if they're a bit flat felt good. Right up until the ending. That made me angry.

In reply to Susan. Oh, that sounds fascinating. Adding to my TBR. Are you safely ensconced in the normal country in North America?

In reply to Laila. Ugh. It certainly is. I guess this worked because it was historical. What was your nonfiction? Anything you'd recommend?

In reply to Amy. Oh no! I was going to say I know loads of people who loved this book, but if you've already tried it? Trust your gut. The best parts are Hannah's descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness, but that's not enough for a novel this long. Also, you're exactly right about crappy men.

Great. Said sarcastically. My book club picked this book and I googled it to get a read on it. I could tell from the beginning this does not seem like my kind of book. I just get tired of reading about crappy and abusive men. There are enough in this world already.

This book does sound explosive … gosh that would be awful to find out about your family’s history. Ugh! It reminds me a bit of a nonfiction memoir I read years ago titled: On Hitler’s Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood by Irmgard A. Hunt …. OMG. Scary stuff. Born in the wrong place at the wrong time. I will add Family of Spies to my TBR. thx

This sounds interesting. I, too, just finished my first nonfiction of the year. Reality is tough now!

In reply to Susan. It will grip you.

In reply to Susan. If they come together with any sort of cohesion it's not so bad, but these people dipped out for long stretches before reappearing again in a completely different context.

In reply to Katherine K DiAntonio. Oh no, that's not good! Thanks for sharing, I'll need to fix that.
