Home Repair by Liz Rosenberg
Ms. Rosenberg has written award-winning books for younger readers, but this is her first adult book. I loved it. It is well-written, kept my interest and has believable characters that I cared about. It is the story of Eve. She was happily married to Ivan and they had one son, Marcus. Then 13 years ago Ivan was killed in a car crash. Eve remarried (Chuck) and they had their daughter Noni. Then in the middle of a garage sale Chuck leaves - really leaves. Eve's mom has been visiting and she stays on to help out. There are many scenes that I could relate to and was impressed at how true-to-life they were. The garage sale is one. Ms. Rosenberg has obviously done garage sales before! I enjoyed the book a lot!

as a fellow garage sale addict I found the premise of the book hilarious. nice blend of comedy and tragedy throughout, really an enjoyable read
My book club is reading this now. Has sparkled a lot of lively conversation about second chances, starting over, family responsibility and the fine line between laughter and tears. I personally enjoyed this book very much and so did the group of 8.
