Fiction. Literature. HTML:

Richard Russo has celebrated Monica Wood's fiction as 'thoroughly captivating...warm and wise and beautifully written,' and Andre Dubus III praised it as 'luminous and graceful...entertaining yet transcendent.' Any Bitter Thing, Wood's brilliant new novel, is her breakout book, a timely, gripping, and compassionate tale of family, faith, and deeply hidden truths. One of its greatest strengths is its continuous ability to defy expectations. It's not what you think. It is worse. Lizzy Mitchell was raised from the age of two by her uncle, a Catholic priest. When she was nine, he was falsely accused of improprieties with her and dismissed from his church, and she was sent away to boarding school. Now thirty years old and in a failing marriage, she is nearly killed in a traffic accident. What she discovers when she sets out to find the truths surrounding the accidentâ??and about the accusations that led to her uncle's deathâ??does more than change her life. With deft insight into the snares of the human heart, Monica Wood has written an intimate and emotionally expansive novel full of understanding and hope… (altro)

started out not psyched about this book at all. but it had some good twisty turny stuff at the end. couldn't put it down. solid B chick lit. ( )

I really loved this. Wood writes about people I want to know more about---they are appealing characters and the intertwining of the events that occur to and with them are just so well done! ( )

This book was very surprising. I thought that I knew what was going to happen, how the book would end, but I was surpirsed. Simple descriptions caught me, surprised me with the strangeness and perfection of the images conjured. Read this book! ( )

For myself I found this a very boring and depressing book. I only made it halfway through. Just reading it seemed like a chore.
Too bad I usually get excited about Maine authors. ( )

I almost gave up halfway through. The story was really dragging. I read the reviews, and they referred to "plot twists", so I kept at it. I'm glad I did -- the last third was substantially more interesting. But overall, not one I'll be recommending to friends. ( )

Despite its abrupt arrival, my accident felt anticipated after the fact, like a long-delayed package arriving as a thwup on the doorstep.
