Publisher's Summary:
This is the story of the Bramble family - Margaret, Max, and Edie - three adult siblings careening through wildly different byways of adult life. Margaret, mother of three, is about to take her ailing father into the tumult and chaos of her already overcrowded home. Edie is young and single, but struggling mightily to anchor her solitary life. Max, newly married, newly a father, is buckling under the weight of new responsibilities. Over the course of one critical season, a long hidden secret will be revealed, remaking each of them, and all they thought they knew about themselves.
Members Reviews:
almost good
there's some really great stuff here. i especially liked the perspective on motherhood. but the plot twist that comes about 3/4 through the book and totally out of nowhere did not fit with the rest of the book. what had been a subtle, intimate portrait of a regular family dealing with real life struggles becomes this wacky, far-fetched caricature. the weird ending overshadows the majority of great story.
It's finally OVER!
OK, So I think this book would be better titled "The Rambles"... I had never read any of Minot's work before but seen this book on amazon.com and thought the plot sounded great so i bought it... and started reading it... 4 MONTHS AGO!! I am the type of person that if i love a book I cant put it down, and if i start a book i must finish it... I finally did today. I have to say that the story line is silly, almost pointless, and the author goes on and on and gets so far off subject you forget what was happening in that part of the book... The plot twist 3/4 of the way through the book was stupid, not even exciting at all and almost a little confusing. The story line would have been intresting had the author not rambled so damn much and devloped the people in the story a little more, they were very under devloped and offered you nothing to like about them, there fore no one in the story to root for or no reason to keep you turing the pages, and not just through the book away and chalk it up to wasted time... Seriously... I had high hopes for this book but they were pretty much crushed... Dont buy it...
Five Stars
Great reading!
The Brambles
The author is more interested in colorful, poetic descriptions than
in telling an interesting story.
You lose any desire to see what happens to these people because they are SO boring and self centered.
I got the feeling that the author was her tormented Edie character.
This is a cure for insomnia.
Did I miss something
I am actually returning this book because I couldn't stand it anymore. It skips around so much I actually looked to see if my copy was missing pages. The Tiny One was one of my favorites, but this style of writing is not working for this book.
