What We Keep: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) by Elizabeth Berg
-I really liked this book. It’s a story about 2 sisters. It begins with one of them, Ginny on a plane on her way to see her mother who she hasn’t seen in 35 years. During her trip, she thinks about what happened during her childhood when her mother left. IT’s a sad story of how Ginny and her sister Sharla dealt with her leaving. The interesting thing about this is the reasons why their mother left and how it was perceived thru the eyes of the sisters. Berg has a lot of memorable quotes in here. One in particular “It’s funny how, oftentimes, the people you love the most are given the least margin for error . Funny, too, the places where the anger ends up surfacing.” This is a book that will stay in my memory a long time. It reminds me why I enjoy reading books by this author.
