Review by: Tartu
A thoughtful novel that traces a college year in the life of a Midwestern girl shortly after the events of September 11th as she experiences her first love, the death of a close family member and spends time with a woman who wishes to adopt a child but who has a secret past and somewhat erratic present. Graceful prose.

Thanks, Tartu, for reminding me of this book! I had started it a few months ago, but had to hand it in because it was due back to the library. I'll add it to my summer list, which is OK, as I'll have to start reading it over from the beginning anyway.

I loved this book and highly recommend all her others (5, most of which are short story collections). Her prose is graceful, witty, thoughtful; she is a writer to treasure.
