You will not want to put this one down, as you share the lives of Leila, the feisty academic, Mary, the homeless middle-class cleaning lady, and Becky, who only longed for a better life. It is an emotional roller coaster, and you will remember this book, I promise. I enjoyed it because I found myself becoming involved with the characters, and felt for them as they struggled to make sense of their lives and to survive.
