Have a huge box of kleenex for the last third of the book! I was bawling. I love how the author weaves the story through 4 generations of women. They refer to nessting dolls, how each "new mother" reacted to their marriage based on the perceptions of their mother's marriage. It was so heart rending. Emma, an 80 year old grandma, sees the failure of her grand-daughters marriage and realizes it stems from secrets of her own marriage. The whole book is told in "mini" stories from each of the generations. It was really amazing seeing this patchwork of experiences blend in this amazing work of fiction. I was very impressed with the writing. It was very moving- a book of forgiveness and sacrifice and how much of those attributes we are willing to give in our own marriages. I love a book that keeps me thinking and pondering after the last page is turned. It made me think of what secrets does my own mother hold about her marriage and are they important for me to know to be better in my marrige. Are my actions reactions to what I was raised in? A wonderful, tear jerker book. The end is happy for some and not so for others- the way of life.
