I'm not a big fan of the cover. Between that black and white photo of a wooden cabin and the blurb I had the sense it would read like Tobacco Road. So I had this feeling that it would read as if it were set in 1940, not 1960s and was startled when 60 ...more

Sterlingcindysu made a comment on Pam’s review of Before Women Had Wings " I"m reading this right now and I didn't realize it was that old. I'm having a hard time thinking the setting is in the late 1960s and not the 1940s or ...more "

Sterlingcindysu liked Pam's review of Before Women Had Wings: "This novel is a little hard to read due to the dysfunction of the family, just made me tense, sad and mad but I didn't want to stop reading it. Oprah Winfrey made a TV movie of it and it was also quite good. Read it almost 20 years ago so I can't..." Read more of this review »

3.5 rounded down. I thought the story would be about trying to sell a family house that was underwater in a bad part of Detroit and it would revolve around evil bankers, family fighting and broke seniors. That's not this story was about--it was about ...more

There is a lot going on in this book. For whatever reason I thought it was basically a WWII book, but it's not really. It is based on a real house. Mawer had to learn all types of scientific things for the background of characters and some of the con ...more
