This is not just a book, its a experience you need to gift yourself! Its not a romantic saga, sometimes it gets irritatingly gloomy, but as the title has it ,its how you recover. We all have a sad song , even the slightest memory of it makes us smile , this novel to me is one of those sad song. Dolores price, the protagonist here journeys right from the innocent childhood (early 1980's) to very rough adolescence. She is humorous, sad , stubborn and yeah a normal girl with abnormal life. wally lamb discovers the essence of femininity, captures it from its nuances to BIG BIG things,covering stark realities like rape, depression,obesity, parents divorce,homosexuality, HIV... you wouldn't stop but wonder how parallels can be drawn between 1980's America and Today's India...the only problem with novel would be you might sometimes find it too depressing...its not a chick-lit novel (as i thought when i picked ). its a serious read. The author is fearless and presents the naked truth, read this one if you wanna add a substantial read to your list.
