how can a man convincingly write from the voice of a woman at several different stages of her life? i have no idea, but he pulls it off so believeably. you start off feeling sorry for delores, and it gets pretty depressing. but when she finally makes the decision to get her life together, you're right there beside her and feel her triumph as she comes out stronger for it. somebody left a copy at my workplace and i started reading it every day on my breaks. i got so into it that i started bringing it home overnight. nobody ever mentioned missing it, so i never returned it! SO engrossing, SO unique. an absolute pleasure
