Query: gentle, but not compelling

Oh, I was disappointed, and I read all of Sue Miller. This is a then-and-now story, but it's simply slow. Very little "happens." The author does far too much "telling" and not enough "showing." And far too much "seeming" and "feeling" than actual doing. I made myself finish the book, but was relieved when it ended. Sue Miller is capable of much, much better.
