From AudioFile
Spanning decades in the lives of three women, this ambitiousnovel starts out with promise: Leigh, Cady, and Vanessa begin theirfriendship in 1963 as New York City roommates. The listener becomesfamiliar with each woman's dreams, ambitions, and flaws as the plotunfolds, especially when it comes to the love lives of three verydifferent personalities. As the years pass, the women pursue careersand men with varying results; however, they do little more thanthat. Even though Deborah Hall spends ample time with each character,each one remains a two-dimensional figure that partakes in clichéd,wooden dialogue and makes the same motions repeatedly. Hall offersadequate narration, although she, too, becomes a bit clichéd in herrendition of the women's voices. (The flight attendant sounds breathyand helpless, for example.).This novel is an easy listen and a fairdiversion, but that's about it.
