Written as a travelogue, not a story.
OMG, what was that ending? I mean, I wanted it to happen the whole book but when it finally happend all I could think was... NO! Not now! Not fair! Oh, God.
I thought that this book was very good. It described the loneliness and confusion of not knowing and understanding oneself and one's origin. It is about love and forgivness; patience and acceptance; and loving oneself fully. I liked how the book focused on many diverse issues, such as socioeconomic class, gender roles, separation and divorce, and the life cycle of a marriage and a family. I rooted for Paige all the way wishing she could find her way to peace within herself.
