This was the first book read where I joined a local book club and got together to discuss. The overall impression was depressing, but a good read. If anything, it makes you wonder if this is possible in a real life situation. Could you keep a secret for what you think is the benefit of others that you love? Does the guilt catch up to you in the end? Does it break apart love and trust? It would be a sober discussion I'm sure. It's a period of time in the sixties where society is hush-hush about such conditions as Down's Syndrome. A time when women are "taken care of" and not yet prospering in the modern world of women today. A good read, but it does take some time to sit and really absorb the author's writing.
