Almost

"Elizabeth Benedict's new novel, ALMOST, is consistent with its title--it is almost an accomplished piece of work, almost a piercing comedy of manners, almost very good.....ALMOST is briskly entertaining, and Sophy, who is the novel's main character and narrator, is smart enough and aware enough to hold our interest and sympathy. But ALMOST is also an accurate illustration of the culture that Ms. Benedict is trying to lampoon. What her novel lacks in substance, in any real psychological or moral penetration, it strives to make up for in glibness...."Benedict, Elizabeth is the author of 'Almost' with ISBN 9780618143320 and ISBN 0618143327.
