5.0 out of 5 starsA Terrific Story in Letters
By BeachReader on August 22, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This novel kept me up until the wee hours. It was wonderful..... Written as a series of diary entries and letters to and from Tig (Antigone) as she walks cross-country taking an environmental survey. Her letters are to and from her husband, Marz; her two daughters, Justice and Solidarity; her grandson, and her granddaughter.
I really enjoy epistolary novels, and was in awe of the way Joanne Greenberg was able to find such an authentic and distinctive *voice* and writing style for each character. Tig's wisdom and her ability to smooth things over/negotiate/arbitrate/give advice was apparent in her letters, although she was not a totally sympathetic character. She has always been an activist and sometimes, as a younger woman, put her causes before her commitment to her daughters and her marriage.
Through these letters, we see family interaction in a unique way. It is not always a good picture, but I think it is honest and explores many issues faced (or not faced) by families today.
Tough going in places, this book is not one I will forget.

5.0 out of 5 starsJoanne Greenberg has done it again!
By A Customer on March 1, 1998
Format: Hardcover
Joanne Greenberg is one of the finest fiction writers ever, and this new novel is one of her best! Told entirely through letters, the story fascinates, educates, entertains, saddens, surprises, and enchants its reader. The personality of each character radiates from each letter, gently but persuasively (one daughter begins, "Dear Mother", while the other writes, "Moms....") Differing relationships, are, too, reflected as the main character Tig writes openly, carefully, warmly, defensively, lovingly, and sometimes humorously. The characters are totally real, the plot is compelling, and the style is excellent. At the end of the story, I felt that I had come to know and care deeply about all of the family, and almost as if I, too, had been a part of an exciting, tiring, and frustrating walk across America. A truly delightful book!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Super Discovery
By A Customer on May 10, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Though I haven't read any of Greenberg's other books, you can be sure I will look them up after finishing _Where the Road Goes_. This is the most powerful epistolary novel I've read in a long time, and the suspense was breath-taking (don't peek--this is one book that will consistently surprise you if you let it). Greenberg tackles a number of hot-button issues in a thoughtful, heartfelt, and complicated novel that keeps ratcheting up the stakes.

5.0 out of 5 starsA demanding, moving journal and letter story of a journey.
By A Customer on October 26, 1999
Format: Hardcover
A marriage and family described and shared through the letters to and from Tig to her 3 generation, becoming four, family. Her own journal entries deepen the layers of events which happen to her on her odyssey and the changes in her family in the year she is 'on the road.' A very important book for all who are or have been activists. Joanne's message 'speaks to my condition'--a subdued Quaker line of approval and is relevant for Canadian readers, too. Her books continue to amaze in their diverse subject matter.
