I had to read this book for school and I thought I wouldn't like it at first. Then, when I started reading I got sucked in. I somehow could identify with the characters in this book. All of the profanity and drinking in this story I think added to it rather than subtracted from it. I recomed you read this book.

This was a wonderful book, and I really enjoyed it. It has very real examples of mother-daughter differences. Honor Bright was very realistic from the 1940's point of view. It has a shocking suprise ending. I highly reccommend this book for young adults. This book is a must-buy!

It's refreshing to find a fine author like Platt writing for young adults, and not down to them. Platt speaks the language of the 1944 adolescent, as it was actually spoken, and not as we like to remember it. A novel dripping with truth, not platitude. The reader can only hope that Platt writes more just like it

I had great hopes for this book after reading a couple of reviews. Was I ever disappointed! There is very little character development, so that you never get to know (much less care about) any of the players. And the plot skips along without much development either - people are acting in various ways that seem very contrived, not to mention pointless (Teddy's dam-building exercise and her "rivalry" with Steve are particularly silly). The book disappoints - the so-called great healing of the generations is touted as a main feature is as much a mystery at the end of the book as it was when it was first introduced. What does get explained (Didi in a high dudgeon because Rose did come to her when she was needed) is anticlimactic. Save your money folks

Wow! This book was fantastic. I won't summarize the plot since the professional reviewers above have already done so (although a word of advice -- don't read Kirkus Reviews, on this book or EVER -- they have a tendency to casually give away plot twists and surprises). I'll just give it my seal of approval.

This book was one of the worst books I ever read! The shallow plot is filled with plenty of profanity and heavy teen drinking, and should be banned! This book was TORTURE!!!!! DO NOT READ IT!!!!! It SOUNDS good, but it's really AWFUL!!!

When I chose this book to read for school, I thought that it would be good. I was very wrong. It has profanity and it encourages the drinking of alchohol. The plot and the charecters were not well devolped.
