A review by gglazer
The Condition by Jennifer Haigh

3.0

For most of this book, I was thinking "mediocre at best," for many of the same reasons I wasn't crazy about Mrs. Kimble. A favorable review had talked me into this book, and I was regretting it... I felt like Haigh just repeats herself over and over, showing instead of telling, and it was really bugging me. (The fact that I was reading this during a lengthy and frustrating delay in the Boston airport and throughout multiple flights probably didn't do it any favors, granted.)

Until the end. I loved, loved, loved the ending of this book, which obviously I am not going to describe in much detail. But my hat goes off to Haigh now. The last 10 pages were worth the first few hundred.
