One Sentence Summary
Daisy lives the typical middle class suburbia life
Review
This is a well written look at the mundane. Making the mundane into a fascinating story about a woman who is trying to make her own way in the world into a character study of the commonplace. The writing is beautiful prose and the story is worth reading. Though the story is not always happy it is worth reading if you enjoy reading for the sake of writing without a particular action packed story.
8/10
