The Most Fun We Ever Had

Claire Lombardo wrote a novel about the passionate marriage of Marilyn and David Sorenson which takes place mostly in Chicago. In The Most Fun We Ever Had we learn that Marilyn and David met in college and moved to Iowa so David could attend medical school and Marilyn could finish her degree. When Marilyn got pregnant with their first daughter she dropped out of college. Within a year of Wendy's birth, another daughter named Violet is born. The Sorensons move back to Chicago where David opens his medical practice. Years later Liza is born and then comes Grace, the baby of the family. Marilyn and David do their best to raise their four daughters and steer them toward successful adulthood. Through 40 years we witness births, deaths, illness, sibling rivalry, illness, holidays and the steadfast love of Marilyn and David. I was sad to come to the end of this book because I liked this family saga.
