I'm trying to read this for book club, but I can't relate. It's about women who gave up careers to stay home with children, and how they feel about that, how it affects their lives, relationships etc. I feel relief, actually, that it turns out I have to work the night of book club, so I don't have to finish this. Sad. Update June 24, 2009...Book club didn't happen, so they are now discussing this at the JULY meeting. At first I still didn't want to read this book. But I dutifully checked it back out of the library to try again. It took me almost 200 pages to figure it out. I think I just wasn't paying attention. It's the story of four (or so) women whose life didn't turn out the way they expected it. Every once in awhile there is a very short chapter inserted that describes a piece of each woman's mother's life as a flashback. That's what confused me the first time I tried to read this. I ended up loving this book, at least from page 200 on! Some of my favorite lines include: "Feminists are part of the past, with an angry old-style image." (What some of the women felt about the feminist movement.) "Your generation was supposed to take over." -one of the mothers to her daughter. "The world rarely stopped to salute you regardless of what you accomplished." a realization for one of the women about life in general, and the fact that regardless of whether or not she was working there would be no salute. "Work did not make you interesting -interesting work made you interesting." another realization. "No one could say for sure what a full enough life was." "Your life is finite. Do not stop."
