Susan Minot can write! I loved her phrases of a mind wandering. The book is of a dying woman's recollections of her life as she prepares to say goodbye all that she had been and thought and experienced. Touching, sad at times, and a reminder that one's choices could come back to haunt. Another clear observation is how little we really know one another--especially our parents. I recommend this book.

Fascinating novel of the memories of a well-lived, passionate life. I really enjoyed the unique way that this author brought out the emotions and thoughts of a woman now dying, looking back on the greatest love of her life. A beautiful, intelligent read.

I could not get past the fact that there is no punctuation in this book. I always finsish a book, not matter how bad it is because I have to know the ending. This is the only book that I have ever started to read and didn't finish.

Compelling story of dying woman remembering defining moment from her early adult life. Part dream, part reminicing, part wishful thinking, part drug indoced fantasy. How a single weekend can impact a life forever.
