Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use.

A woman facing middle age confronts disappointments, regrets, and conficts, but ultimately finds the courage to change her life, in a moving novel by the author of Still Missing and Domestic Pleasures. I thought that, "Saying Grace" was an excellent novel and I became so involved in the lives of very well-developed chanracters, I felt like I knew each one of them personally. I also became entangled in the very well-depicted issues within the school and I felt as if I was also involved in the many stories and trials. However, I finished the book feeling distressed and emotionally drained because of the sad, shocking events towards the end. I was so entrapped in the characters lives, that I felt like I knew them personally and as if I could also feel the pain they felt. What a wonderful novel.
