The Ladies Auxiliary: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's… av Tova Mirvis
Loved it. Brilliant.
The characters are fleshed out, but too much time is spent within their minds and not enough time without. A problem with people is that they tend to think repetitively, and these characters are no different. They tend to be boring, and their lives rarely turn in compelling ways. The writing isn't bad per se; this would make for a pretty good 50-100 page (and maybe even less) novella/short story. I don't think the story, as its told, merits its length.
Multilayered plot and characters I'd like to meet. This novel was an accurate portrait of New York City, and a realistic if exaggerated depiction of motherhood and marriage. Would make a great movie.
