A review by lbarsk
Away by Amy Bloom

4.0

Impressively written in the way that the story unfolds—you get not just Lillian's life but, in small flash-forwards that don't feel corny or over dramatic, the lives of those who matter to her as well. Really well woven together and a solid sense of both scene and characterization. I also really liked that Lillian was hardened and no-nonsense; refreshing to see a woman written that way and not at all judged for it by the author.
