I didn't like her son either but when I read she hit him, combined with what we already knew about her mood swings, and the way Henry sort of watched over her to be sure she didn't push the boy too hard -well I guess he has a point. He's better off avoiding her. Yet another sad, but true, part of the book. There are family situations where it is better for the members to not see one another. I've put your link on my book report.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-29382283818200984182009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:00I have this book.

I could see the reason for the conflict, but grow up! He treated her horribly. And I didnt' like the chapters with just one throw away line about Olive, but they served a purpose. And as a teacher, I appreciated how she permeated so many lives, and even if they didn't like her as a teacher, she still affected them, and they quoted her during rough passages of their lives.<br /><br />staci - thanks! I hope I didn't build it up too much.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-53511035059499168852009-05-02T18:28:00.000-04:002009-05-02T18:28:00.000-04:00I "liked" your review.
