feeling some hope here; there is an especially nice space where Dubus' characters find beauty in the parts that are unlike their old loves, and I appreciate it. I'm not sure, though, if any of the female characters come off as truly relatable and empathetic

while I am all for realism, and indeed Dubus's characters seem as real as the day is long, their lives seem so full of striving after something I don't want. "success" that's missed the point and the boat. the characters are all reeling into hurt and empty, material, two thousand teens-style Willy Lomans. so far I worry this may break me.
