5.0 out of 5 stars Fine tale, fine writing, November 13, 2005
This review is from: Call It A Gift: (A Novel) (Western Literature Series) (Paperback)
A gentle tale, with spirit and chutzpah, like its characters, Call it a Gift charms with its unlikely plot twists, details such as an octagenarian "escaping" down a bedroom ladder with her new boyfriend, and deep, honest emotion.
The web of characters, some of whom you never meet, sparkles with believable middle-aged children, remembered friends and family. Though there is a strongly bitter-sweet flavor to much of the story, which centers around the protagonists coming to grips with loss, it is neither maudlin nor overly sentimental, and in fact shows a great deal of sensitive humor in the telling. A fine story, with memorable characters.
