"The emotional and moral complexity that [Jane Smiley] uncovers in the characters of these resonant novellas confirms [her] singular talent. ORDINARY LOVE & GOOD WILL is an extraordinary achievement." THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD ORDINARY LOVE At a reunion with her grown children, a woman recalls the long-ago affair that ended her relationship with their father--and changed all their lives irrevocably. GOOD WILL Despite the carefully self-sufficient life he has designed for his small family, a man discovers that even the right choices have unexpected consequences--sometimes heart-breaking ones. From the Paperback edition.

Ordinary Love | Jane Smiley

Feeling a little down in the dumps and blue tonight. So I am going upstairs to look at my TBR bookcase. Hopefully it will make me feel better. I have been home from work for two hours and haven‘t felt like reading.
