A review by tmoney91
A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

2.0

Clunky and took some abrupt and bizarre turns that Moore didn't really explore in depth. At times, Moore also seemed either to skirt the issues of diversity and race to which she kept alluding or to indulge in negative stereotypes. I think Moore really bit off more than she could chew here, which is a shame because the premise - a Midwestern college student becomes a babysitter for a high-powered couple hiding a dark secret from their adoption agency - actually had potential.
