The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg
4.0
A Mother's Day gift for my mom, and the gift keeps on giving. This is one of the sadder Berg books I've read, or at least more unpleasant. Yet even when she is telling a rather disturbing story, it is still oddly joyful to read. The book's dedication says this: "For those who find forgiveness by way of the truth and for those who find the truth by way of forgiveness." I think I must be the first sort of person because the truths stated so bravely and plainly in Berg's writing allow me to forgive, in a way, the dark moments in the story.
As my mom always says, there's no "getting into" an Elizabeth Berg book. The characters are there from page one, fully formed, waiting to tell you their story.
