Friends and Strangers
by J. Courtney Sullivan
This author is a favorite of mine, but this book was not one of her best. The relationship between Elisabeth, a young mother and author moving away from Brooklyn to a small town upstate NY, and Sam, a college senior not sure of where she was heading, was a complicated one. I didn’t really feel close to either character, and as Elisabeth’s lies to her husband, and Sam’s naïveté with her English boyfriend, Clive seemed a bit much, the story lost steam. I liked the social classes theme, and the snobbishness of the nouveau rich, but all in all, a bit disappointing. Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC.
