Found it interesting that it never really seemed repaired, yet the cause of the strain seemed exaggerated a bit on Olivia's part. Jealousy, selfishness, not important?<BR/><BR/>Julian's reaction to Carter and Mia sleeping together--how much of his reaction was compounded by the feeling of underlying resentment that he went to Michigan for her and the betrayal from Mia and Carter was just the icing on the cake to release him from that suffocation?<BR/><BR/>A curiosity question for the author: Is there a connection to the west coast? Berkeley in his book coming out and Marin county/SF/east bay/south bay references in Matrimony.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mari!<BR/>SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757138150909200638.post-21771610459939545442009-02-16T08:33:00.000-08:002009-02-16T08:33:00.000-08:00The book Henkin is working on sounds like it will ...The book Henkin is working on sounds like it will be another book club favorite!

Just like a musician has to get out to the public to promote his/her product, author's now must do the same.<BR/><BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
