When Madeline Was Young

It’s been a long time since I read a book by Jane Hamilton and after reading When Madeline Was Young I’m trying to remember if I really liked Map of the World or Book of Ruth. Were they as ODD as When Madeline Was Young? Or as slow?

I didn’t hate this book, it was just…slow and weird. And kind of amusing since the Macivers lived in our neck of Chicagoland.

Would YOU take care of your new husband’s ex wife who had been in an accident that left her with brain damage causing her to be perpetually 7 years old? My answer is heck no.
