Book Reviews of Ladder of Years
Book Review: "So-So"
Summary: 3 Stars
"Ladder of Years was not a novel that was particularly striking, nor did I find it boring. The idea of a wife and mother who up and leaves her husband and children is intrigueing becuse it happens so rarely. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I enjoyed the blurry explanation for Delia's actions. I felt that Tyler was leaving something for the reader to infer. Like many others, I enjoyed Tyler's casual style. Her writing flows nicely, and she creates characters that one can love and hate at the same time. Her characters are similar to real people and not romanticized in any way.
