Real characters. Weezy (nickname for Louis) is a stay-at-home mother whose children are having trouble starting their own lives.Paragraphs that ring so true, like when she picks up glasses and dishes left behind by her family around the house like they expect a magic fairy to clean up after them. They don't consider that that magic fairy is her...!
Very readable, but did not enjoy as much as Girl in White Dresses or The Hopefuls. The Hopeful definitely felt like a very mature novel.
Girls in White Dresses seemed like short stories strewn together, with The Smart One a more integrated narrative, but not as good as The Hopefuls.
