From School Library Journal
YA-Bergman uses old family photographs to provide visual images as he sets out to portray his parents' stormy love affair and life together as he imagines them. He infuses the tale with profound sympathy for all characters involved, switching from dialogue in which the players reveal themselves, to his own asides, in which he draws both characters and readers offstage to explain the tone he is looking for in an evolving scene. The director's voice and the "You are there" quality add to the originality of the book without slowing its pace. YAs will enjoy this story for its plot and characterization, and will learn from it about converting photographic and dramatic action into fiction.
