My Reviews
I especially enjoyed the organization of the book into short stories that revolved around a small group of characters and how they related to the central character--Olive. The author demonstrates an insightful grasp of human behavior and was so adept that she led me to believe that if I met Olive in a social or business setting, I would know her. Olive was complex and all too human, and I identified with her in many ways--meaning I saw many of my quirks in her and vice versa!
The book is pretentious and uses a pseudo-intellectual approach that I found extremely annoying. The plot, if there is one, seems to wander from character to character in a meaningless and pointless fashion. In addition the author uses phrasing that is stilted and awkward. What a colossal waste of time.
Great story with complex characters. The author's writing style kept the reader intrigued and engaged.
