review 1: This really isn't a novel about 'the boy', but he's a catalyst for Anna to reflect and change or not change. Good mommy? Bad mommy? You make the call, but she certainly is an unlikable character. The daughter in this story acts as the adult in this mother/daughter relationship and the ending was perfect.I like stories where you can hardly keep your eyes open as the trains are about to collide at a high rate of speed.
review 2: Reviewed by: Melissa“All I want is a break. I have lead the life of an indentured servant. I have been reduced in every possible, conceivable way to the role of caregiver. What about me? I’m tired Dr. Roemer [psychiatrist]. I have been constrained beyond all reasonable parameters, I have been enslaved, shackled like some goddamne... mored convict and I’m tired. I need this [the boy]. I need it more than words can possible begin to express.”I found it difficult to put this one down. Palms sweaty, heart racing and brow furrowed I tore through pages of Anna’s struggle with her inner demons in one day. This tragic (love?) story of a lonely and overwhelmed mother is brutal in its beautiful honesty and unapologetically ugly in its intelligent portrayal of a woman who should have know better.An attraction to her neighbor’s 20 something son stirs her wanting soul and she is repeatedly forced to choose (often wrongly) between her demanding responsibilities as a mother and her sensual desires as a woman. As the morally ambiguous story unfolds and Anna’s past indiscretions come to light, an inevitably tragic end lurks beyond every page as she spirals faster and deeper out of control.Lara Santoro glaringly illustrates the realities of a woman’s addictions with passion, wit and fearlessness. This book will have any flesh and blood woman empathizing with Anna’s moral dilemma to an extent while cringing at her desperate behavior in the name of loneliness and carnal hunger.Happy Reading! less
