4.0 out of 5 stars Honest fiction, Jun 25 2004
By A Customer
I truly enjoyed this book. As in many of Irving's works, the themes of impossible coincidence and the "sins of the father" run rampant. The notion that fiction can simply be fiction is not lost in this rich novel with its seriously flawed characters. The main character Ruth, is a true person in the sense of her lack of true decisiveness and ability to acknowledge that the world isn't perfect but oddly comforting. The sentiments and questions regarding parental responsibility and love are important and the concept that what happens in our past is inherently linked to our future is persuasive.

Perhaps this book is not a literary giant yet it takes a stand on the true meaning of fiction -- it can be whatever it wants to be. This is a great summer read that has more meat than the average beach book.
