Firmly entrenched in California's culture I feel write with an elitist take about the rest of middle America. I find that I can not sympathize greatly with their characters. Although an interesting premise - what if your hated husband simply died and left you free to start over - I couldn't care about Cassie Shaw. The authors provide plenty of insight into her head, I just couldn't do much emotionally with what was there. Of all the characters in this novel I like Cassie's hippie Topanga Canyon mother the most. I enjoyed Cassie's birdwatching and her slight obsession with animals. Otherwise I felt she was a bit of a tramp. The novel provided a moderately interesting peek at college academic life from the point of view of William Connor, one of Cassie's mentors. Otherwise, I couldn't recommend it.ALChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703277292996597929noreply@blogger.com
