The Last Time I Saw You

Reunion. Sometimes a novelist can speak to his or her contemporaries in ways that resonate perfectly with one’s personal experience. Readers born a few years on either side of 1950 can find such a novelist in Elizabeth Berg. Her novel, The Last Time I Saw You, is required reading for anyone of that age cohort who is heading to a school reunion. Berg writes with a gentleness and tenderness that reveals a range of human behavior, and she always leaves a reader uplifted by the end of the novel. This is light reading that provides amusing entertainment.

Rating: Three-star (Recommended)
