I selected Almost Paradise, by Susan Isaacs, from a list of suggestions from our Suffern Library. After reading the sample chapter, I wanted to know what would happen to Jane. Little did I know that it was 700+ pages! Susan weaved a multi-generational tale, which some of us found too long, and others thought added to the understanding of the main characters.
The characters dealt with alcoholism, parental neglect, sexual abuse, infidelity, brain-chemical illness, etc. In the end, Jane ---------! I won't give away the ending, just in case someone wants to finish this tome! It was great discussing the book with all of you - also, thank you for trying out Indian (new to some bookworms) food! Our taste buds were on fire!
