Really well written. I had a problem near the ending. Seemed not possible but then I’m not the author. Still a really good read. ]]> AuthorFollowing108546849 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 03:50:17 -0700 Review3611292160 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 03:49:11 -0700 /review/show/3611292160 BarbaraW gave 4 stars to A Map of the World (Paperback) by Jane Hamilton

Gets a little long winded and repetitive probably to drive a point. Wow ending. ]]> Review7443471719 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:58:29 -0700 /review/show/7443471719 BarbaraW gave 3 stars to My Sister, My Love (Hardcover) by Joyce Carol Oates
Always a great author but this book was full of repetition. Parts of it were brilliantly written. Great ending. Read it was a criticism of nouveau riche obsessing over their lives in this case a skating prodigy daughter who ‘causes� obsession and worse.

This reminded me of the unsolved JonBenet Ramsey murder case in CO. Lots of parallels and wonder if author had this case in back of her mind. ]]> ReadStatus9271752912 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:26:24 -0700 /review/show/7462972853 BarbaraW started reading My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
