Alternate Side by Anna QuindlenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I usually love Quindlen's books - Object Lessons is one of my all-time favorites. But this just didn't hit the mark for me. It was about a tight-knit neighborhood on a dead end street in Manhattan. The neighborhood had the usual squabbles over parking, personalities, and annual parties. When there is an accident involving the neighborhood's friendly handyman, suddenly fractures in marriages, racial tensions, and complications in friendships arise. While the story was good, her writing - usually ethereal - wasn't as good as usual.
