Cut[s] across moments of national and personal upheaval to examine the complex web of family against the backdrop of history., How did Maynard know that this is exactly the book we all need now?

What to-do list? Under the Influence is a riveting read., The novel bites off a lot--a Brett Kavanaugh-inspired storyline, a domestic abuse situation, a trans child, Eleanor's career--and manages to resolve them all. . . Maynard creates a world rich and real enough to hold the pain she fills it with., Joyce Maynard is the queen of the family saga, and Count the Ways is the best!

It's rich and complex, beautiful and heartbreaking, just like life. Reading about this flawed and lovely family will make you want to hug your own flawed and lovely family tight. Joyce Maynard celebrates the messy, wonderful thing that is love., Sensitively plumbing the complexity of human emotions, of love and forgiveness, [Maynard] draws readers into a deep, aching attachment to her characters, creating an ultimately hopeful tale just right for this moment., Joyce Maynard has, again, managed to tap flawlessly into the voice of a teenage girl: part hope, part fiction, and all heart. After Her is page-turning mystery, wrapped in a beautifully rendered story of sisterhood; and reading it is a journey through one's own memory of what it meant to be thirteen, when the world was equally terrifying and fascinating. Books this compelling just don't come around very often., Readers will sink into Maynard's masterful portrait of one woman's life in this decades-spanning family saga.--Readers will sink into Maynard's masterful portrait of one woman's life in this decades-spanning family saga.

Synopsis
In her most ambitious novel to date, New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard returns to the themes that are the hallmarks of her most acclaimed work in a mesmerizing story of a family--from the hopeful early days of young marriage to parenthood, divorce, and the costly aftermath that ripples through all their lives Eleanor and Cam meet at a crafts fair in Vermont in the early 1970s. She's an artist and writer, he makes wooden bowls. Within four years they are parents to three children, two daughters and a red-headed son who fills his pockets with rocks, plays the violin and talks to God. To Eleanor, their New Hampshire farm provides everything she always wanted--summer nights watching Cam's softball games, snow days by the fire and the annual tradition of making paper boats and cork people to launch in the brook every spring. If Eleanor and Cam don't make love as often as they used to, they have something that matters more. Their family. Then comes a terrible accident, caused by Cam's negligence. Unable to forgive him, Eleanor is consumed by bitterness, losing herself in her life as a mother, while Cam finds solace with a new young partner. Over the decades that follow, the five members of this fractured family make surprising discoveries and decisions that occasionally bring them together, and often tear them apart. Tracing the course of their lives--through the gender transition of one child and another's choice to completely break with her mother--Joyce Maynard captures a family forced to confront essential, painful truths of its past, and find redemption in its darkest hours. A story of holding on and learning to let go, Count the Ways is an achingly beautiful, poignant, and deeply compassionate novel of home, parenthood, love, and forgiveness.

- a***0 (293)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseEven better than stated. The pictures didn’t do these justice. Had the pleasure of having a very detailed conversation about this item with the seller, who was incredibly incredibly helpful, understanding, and answered all questions. Despite an eBay technical fail and inability to change aspects of the sale in regards to shipping. No harm no foul, the seller even went out of the way to put insurance on this out of own pocket based on issues that weren’t sellers fault. We both phoned eBay no fix.Prada Sunglasses with Case Gunmetal Black SPR 53H 5AV-5D1 115 3N Italy Retired (#336016460706)
