Book #14 in 2012 (Audio)

Emily, Alone by Stewart O'Nan.  Read by Andrea Gallo.

So many words, and so little action.  Mr. Stewart has well-developed characters, I just wish he'd do something with them!

The book follows the life of widow Emily Maxwell who has out-lived her husband and many of her friends.  She is now teamed up with her sister-in-law and dog, Rufus, and pretty much is just living out the rest of her her life.  The story was a rather depressing look at old age.

2 stars.
