Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Very post-modern. Narrated by the different members of a family -- parents and their adult children Olive (just broke up from her boyfriend and discovers she's pregnant), Jade (intouch with her spirit guide and her past incarnations), and Forest (has been living in the woods for 15 years after running away from home). They're dealing with their changing lives and each other and what family means. The book is by no means profound, but not terribly cheesy, and very enjoyable. I love finding new authors by chance! There was just something about the title "On the Divinity of Second Chances" that caught my eye on the libraries NEW shelf. Kaya McLaren has created a dysfunctional family; that on closer look, isn't really all that different from any other family. The characters are flawed but likable and how they find their way back to each other creates a truly happy ending, though not necessarily happily ever after.

Jade's mixed up family learns from a group of tap-dancing old ladies, a sensual tango dancer, and bagpipes that everyone gets a second chance and sometimes it's better than the first. No library descriptions found. |

Paperback, which has been sitting unread on my bookshelf for so long that I no longer remember when or why I even bought it. I suspect it was a recommendation from the (now defunct) Books on the Nightstand podcast. ( )
