I can't say that I'm too fond of this book and yet it was the title I chose for discussion for GWBC in September. FLOP!! It's so sad because the summary sounded oh so interesting. It definitely was NOT what I thought I'd be reading. I'm one who needs continuity with characters and I don't necessarily want to know what EACH character is thinking. Choose one or two and go with it; don't hop about to everyone's thoughts. I think the same ideas could have been portrayed if the author restricted herself to an omniscient voice instead of the limited voice of multiple characters. It confused me at times for which character I was listening to and it just made it a jumbled mess, which was kind of part of the book, but more so than needed.
A dislike on this title. Sorry, Eudora Welty...and I had such hopes.
