review 1: I loved this book! It was hard to put down. Two girls were born on the same day in the same town in the same hospital in New Hampshire. Even though their families were vastly different, their lives seemed linked. The novel takes us from when the girls were born until they are in their thirties. Joyce Maynard explores many facets of family life in this story alternating between the voices of Dana and Ruth, the "birthday sisters." This book kept me thinking even after I had finished reading it.
review 2: I agree with some of the reviews I read online after I finished that said this novel could have been better written - and I didn't like the way she dealt with some very touchy subjects - or didn't deal with them at all - but I enjoyed the book and enjoyed t... morehe characters and found it a page-turning experience despite its limitations. Definitely an easy "beach read" but not a completely brainless whim either. I've not read any of this author's other stuff yet so I look forward to seeing what else she can do. less
