Odyssey of the soul

Bauer ventures into new territory with this sensitive story of birth and legacy. Like her past work, there's humor and American-gothic hints scattered throughout. The book is very different from her last one, but it's interesting that children/babies play a role in all of her novels. Her portraits of contemporary American life are always right-on. Highly recommended.
