    <body><![CDATA[I love Sue Miller's characters - she creates people you come to know &amp; understand.  Her characters typically react &amp; act as you imagine they should.  As the title indicates the book explores the things we will do for love - and also the things we won't do for love. The story includes the many loves ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45025798">more...</a>]]></body>
