Helpful Score: 1

This book is similar to Ladder of Years By Anne Tyler which I read last year and liked Alot. This one was OK. Although I am going to make a note here to read this book in about 10 years. The book had some really funny parts that I found myself chuckling to. But, the plot is a bit week. It basically moves from a narrative by the main character to letters she is writing to her husband on her travels. This books shows true honesty and vulnerability of a 50 year old woman who is uncomfortable with her life and getting old. At times I thought Nat was a little off the deep end and definitely had some psychological issues. But, at the end I discovered she was really just thinking it all through and had to work it out in her mind before she could accept her life the way it is and move on. As one of the previous readers said, this is not one of my favorites but I still liked it.
