This book was part of my vacation to the southwest reading. I really enjoyed Did You Ever Have A Family? by Bill Clegg. Each chapter is from a different point of view although two women, June and Lydia, have several chapters. The book starts out with a tragedy and then weaves back and forward in time to explain why June and Lydia grieve the way that they grieve. These two women are not the typical mourners. June and Lydia are not typical women. I venture to guess Bill Clegg is not the typical writer because, without much dialog, he was able to write about deep interpersonal relationships. His insight is almost feminine. Great book to read if you have the time.
