Goodbye Without Leaving by Laurie Colwin
3.0
This book has a good premise but the character is jumbled as she searches through life. None of the supporting characters are well developed; they are light comedy characterizations. It is a pleasant read with some good insights. I’m disappointed that they don’t add up to more.
There are some editorial inconsistencies that make one wonder if they are errors or intentional. Geraldine’s mother dates Geraldine’s pregnancy relative to Christmas - but they are Jewish. She gets hired at the agency three days a week but talks about going every day.
