5.0 out of 5 stars Responsible Relationships, May 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Blameless: A Novel (Hardcover)
I loved this book! Mary is a 34-year old divorcee, strong, athletic, living in the same small town where she grew up, driving the school bus, and having Sunday dinners (every Sunday night!) with her Mom and sisters. And is now anxiously awaiting the upcoming trial of Jen Colby's mother when she must testify to finding the little girl's dead boy in a closet. Mary cannot recall seeing any signs of abuse of Jen, the six-year-old who rode her bus, yet the "Night Visitor" shows up and greatly disturbs her sleep. Reardon's writing is compelling as Mary's story unfolds, revealing other issues she has suppressed in her life. I came to love Mary and feel her story ends on a huge note of hope. She has shown us that our friendships and relationships require attention and responsibility and can survive the truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex simplicity, May 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Blameless: A Novel (Hardcover)
A recent review of Blameless said it was complex in its simplicity. How true. Lisa takes seemingly simple people, in seemingly simple settings and through her masterful use of language and storytelling ability, reveals all the complexity of the human experience. She has created characters so real you know them, whether you live in a small town in northern Michigan or a Los Angela suburb. We recognize these people; we identify with them, we root for them, and ultimately learn from them. I loved this book; and like other well loved story's I didn't want it to end. I wanted to stick around Kassauaga and find out what happens to Mary and Julianna and all the rest. I look forward to more of Reardon's haunting, funny, heartbreaking, compelling prose.

4.0 out of 5 stars Painful Tale About People Coming to Grips With the Truth, June 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Blameless: A Novel (Hardcover)
While I agree with the other reviewers that this is a well-written book with characters that we care about, no one has given readers a true sense of how difficult a book it is. It's difficult because so many of the characters are in pain and doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons.

While we get a sense by the end of the book that Mary and Amy are beginning to make smarter choices, there's certainly no happily-ever-after here.
