Signet

A not entirely malignant procedure

Sweet and Delicious
This book is so well written and so, so personal. I found myself, with Sheila (Perri's mother), going back to my growing-up years. My own mother was far kinder than Sheila's, but I could see how childhood experiences carry forward. . .forever. These are two strong, ...

This is one of my favorite novels. If it came out now, it would probably be called "chick lit" but it's better than most young women's contemporary fiction. Klass has a strong voice, a perceiving eye, and a sense for real life that makes this novel a pleasure to read. ...
