review 1: This is the first time I have read any of Mattison's books.I like her writing style. She's very good with personality description.In the first page of the book, the author states that the story is going to ping pong back and forth between 1989 and 2003 but it would tie in together at the end. Considerate. Saves time trying to figure out what is going on.This story takes place in 2 one week time periods. One week in 1989 and another week in 2003.They are tied by two events: A death and a burglary.The characters are constant in the book in both weeks. Minus the person who died in 1989 of course.This is not a happily ever after story. Very human characters.
review 2: One quiet spring day in 1989, Constance Tepper arrives from Philadelphia to watch over her mother'... mores Brooklyn apartment while her mother visits her old friend Gert in Rochester. Con's week in Brooklyn will take a surprising turn when she wakes to find that someone has entered her mother's apartment and her own purse is missing. Stranded, with no money, she begins to phone family and friends. By the end of that week, she will experience a series of troubling discoveries about her marriage, her job, and her family's history, and much of her life will be changed forever. less
