Customer Reviews

Worth a read!

I finished this book years ago and gave it to a friend, I am thinking of getting another copy to keep in my “comfort reread” shelf.

An unexpected gem

The story is deceptively short and simple but makes some very valid points on modern marriage, family and corporate culture.

Simple, wholesome and meaningful.

I love how this book makes you look inward as you read more. A great look at society and our expectations and how we treat others base on those values we put on ourselves.

Character driven story with an open/ambiguous ending.

The first half of the book was very interesting and insightful. Once a certain character became prevalent in the plot, the book was much less enjoyable.
