Syvia Brownrigg of the NY Times Review speaks of a certain kind of story writer who delights in seeing the world at an angle, keeping the reader off balance with narrative feints and unsettling-often comical-asides. She talks about a brisk realism. The Goode School provides the canvas background. Daughters of the Revolution - EV and Carole Faust - flank God(dard) Byrd, himself surrounded by a previous generation of women who served and serviced him. Carolyn Cooke is a cubist painter who renders different facets of the story. However, the sum of the angles doesn't add to a complete story. It is our responsibility to make sense of it. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't. It is fun though!
