Book Reviews of Runaway
Book Review: Acceptance of life's turns
Summary: 4 Stars
There is a lot of sadness in these stories involving mostly middle-aged women as they face various trials and tribulations from dealing with an unhappy marriage, dissatisfaction with academia, having a child abandon you, a missed connection, adoption, etc. The characters are thoughtful and despite problems find a way to move on. Definitely a set of stories that keeps one's attention. Three of the stories involve Juliet in various stages of her life. One wonders why a novel was not written - but the author knows best.
