Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner
3.0
Once again, Weiner does a really good job telling a story from multiple points of view. We meet Sylvie, the middle age wife of a NY senator who finds out her husband has had an affair. We also meet her two daughters: Diana, the strong, brusque, methodical, perfect ER doctor, and Lizzie, the 24 year old recovering drug addict. We learn how the senator's affair affects the lives of his family and how appearances aren't really what they seem.
Unfortunately, though, the book is kind of predictable. I've felt this way about her last few books. I love that she's from Philly and I feel the need to support her writing, but I don't like that I can predict the endings.
P.S. Love the allusion to the Stevie Smith poem "Not Waving But Drowning" in part 2. :-)
