When Madeline Was Young by Jane Hamilton

2.0

I am still moved and intrigued by Hamilton’s Book of Ruth, but several of her other books have been pretty forgettable to me (and I think I’ve read them all). This book tracks the story of a family who takes care of the dad’s first wife who becomes brain damaged after a bicycle fall. The family relations are interesting, but I didn’t really ever get completely engaged. I enjoyed this read, but it will gloss over in the coming months and eventually become forgettable.
