I loved this book for the insight into the expectations which small communities placed on women in the 1930's. Women could work but they had better toe the line in their private lives as well or they were viewed as outcasts. The author is amazing at telling the story through a set of letters between the characters, mainly two sisters. Wright's characterization of these women is impeccable. A very good read. This was truly one book that deserved the Giller Prize.
