Book Reviews of The Ten-Year Nap
Book Review: I liked almost everything about this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all of Meg Wolitzer's books and was looking forward to this one. (I usually wait until novels come out in paperback.)I wasn't disappointed; all the main (female) characters were intriguing for me, and the husbands were portrayed as multi-dimensional humans, which is often rare in books aimed at women. As the mother of a disabled son, I was particularly taken with the characters of Jill and her "not-quite-right" adopted daughter Nadia; the specifics (and surprises) were perfect. The writing throughout is highly detailed and engaging, and I found the interwoven stories fascinating, and ultimately satisfying, in their resolutions. (If I were to change anything it would be the title, which I felt didn't quite fit.)Mary Lee Moser, author, There and Back: A Journal Companion for Special Needs Parents
