I saw this in a recent list on Oprah's web site of books that will make you cry. I knew that I read it, so I thought I'd see what I said about it, those several years ago. Instead, I didn't log it! So I don't know when I read it (a year or two after it was on Oprah's book club, I think), I don't know just what I thought of it, and I don't know how many stars I would have given it. Bah! I do remember liking it quite a bit, and yes, there was crying involved too.
