On the Shelf – Ayelet Waldman’s “Love and Other Impossible Pursuits”
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits by Ayelet Waldman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This isn’t a book I would have usually picked up for myself, but needed something to take on a trip that wasn’t a library book (I have a strict rule on traveling with books that aren’t mine) and it was a well passed around book.
Fiction about “women of a certain age” seems to always include divorce, adultery, and even more angst than the average high school cafeteria. Ms. Waldman has created a set of characters that are identifiable and I believe each reader will find one character to latch onto and cheer for throughout.
I won’t kid you, this is not a light beach read, but I will say that it is worth every minute it takes to get to the last page. EVERY MINUTE.
