The World Below (2001)
One of life’s simplest truths is that it does not always work out the way we planned it and, considering all the crossroads in life and the number of choices that have to be made along the way, that’s not really too surprising. But even knowing this about our own lives, most of us tend to assume that our parents and grandparents (and those who preceded them) followed a straight path from point A to point B and that they lived pretty much the lives they planned for themselves, even if only because they had no other choices.

Thanks for a great review on this book Sam! I just recently read this book too - and liked it (although it was a slow start for me!).

ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you enjoyed it as much as I did, Wendy. It's only the second Sue Miller novel I've read but I'm anxious to try another now.
