By Meg Wolitzer. Yawn. Nothing really happens in this book. And while I don't need a wild plot to be happy, the mothers in this story aren't really interesting and there aren't any interesting ideas. I thought I'd like it--a book about mothers who choose to stay at home with their kids and the lives they lead and they regrets or non-regrets they feel. I have always wondered what mothers who don't work but whose kids are in school do during the day. All the main characters are these kinds of mothers, but yet, I still don't have an answer to that question. One review said that Wolitzer is a master of the minature. Maybe, but I didn't really pick up on the wit that supposedly makes this book better than I thought it was.
