Slavko Markovic slavkomarkovic — ** spoiler alert ** While I Was Gone is about a woman, Joey, who is constantly running away from something. Whether it's her carefree past, idle marriage, or a disconnected mother, she's running away instead of facing the altercations. Fast forward 25 years, Eli, an old friend from when she was a carefree-communal-living-hippie. Unfortunately, this friend is seeking comfort that Joey must face head-on rather than run away. I found this book a little troubling because of the direction that it was going. However, there were a couple of passages that I did particularly enjoy. * At one point during her communal living period, Joey and her roommates played a 5-word game that I thought would be fun to play in a confident group setting. And... * "...admonition was simply this: we have no right to let go of so much that shaped us; we shouldn't be allowed to forget." I gave this book only 3 stars because I didn't enjoy it. Actually it was more of a border between 3 and 4 stars. (Remember "Unfaithful" w/Diane Lane - hard to watch, right?) Anyway, Sue Miller did a great job of explaning the turmoil Joey felt with decisions she later faced. But I found it almost unbelievable that a woman who has a loving husband, a seemingly innocuous life would risk it. Why? Unfortunately, Sue Miller didn't go into detail behind Joey's desire. There wasn't any reason, no explanation, no missing component to her marriage, nor her life. Oprah, are you out there? Why did you like this book?

Gisele Orciani gisele_ — loved it...interesting topic and great characters. stayed up late several nights reading it!

Prasanna Manivel prasannampd — Literacy skills: Narrative skills-the story has wonderful descriptive pictures. There is a cute story to the book, but the illustrations would definitely lend themselves to having a child make up their own story for the book.
