"Riveting . . . While I Was Gone celebrates] what is impulsive in human nature."-The New York Times "Miller weaves her themes of secrecy, betrayal, and forgiveness into a narrative that shines."
-Time Jo Becker has every reason to be content. She has three dynamic daughters, a loving marriage, and a rewarding career. But she feels a sense of unease. Then an old housemate reappears, sending Jo back to a distant past when she lived in a communal house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Drawn deeper into her memories of that fateful summer in 1968, Jo begins to obsess about the person she once was. As she is pulled farther from her present life, her husband, and her world, Jo struggles against becoming enveloped by her past and its dark secret. " While I Was Gone] swoops gracefully between the past and the present, between a woman's complex feelings about her husband and her equally complex fantasies-and fears-about another man. . . . Miller writes] well about the trials of faith."
-The New York Times Book Review "Quietly gripping . . . Jo shines steadily as the flawed and thoroughly modern heroine. As in her 1986 novel, The Good Mother, Miller shows how impulses can fracture the family."
-USA Today "Marvelous . . . poignant . . . powerful."

Beautiful and sturdy!
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
This is such a nice bar cart, especially for the money! It’s not too small and each shelf has a good weight capacity, so it holds a good number of bottles. The color is a nice gold but the rivets are silver. It was easy to put together. My husband did it on his own unless than an hour.

Just an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT Bar Cart!
Style: Grey Oak, Size: 14.17"D x 37.01"W x 35.24"H
Completely blown away with this cart! It FAR exceeded my expectations! A little more expensive than similar items, but the reviews sold me on it! Approximately 45 minutes to assemble from unboxing. Really good instructions. Tools included. I put together lots of these Lego Projects, so I can get through pretty quickly. This is a HEAVY, STURDY, SOLID, WELL MADE piece! All of the metal and wood surfaces are smooth and clean! Its much sturdier than it looks in the ad pics. It's also a little larger than I expected, even though I did measure it all out before ordering. I had ZERO problems building this thing. It's beautiful. Lines and surfaces are my base motif, and this fits the bill perfectly! Im not a big fan of the handle but I did go ahead and install. This cart fits seemlessly in with other furniture materials and fabrics. Can be tucked neatly into a tight space, or in my case ... is anchoring its own spot under some artwork somewhat solo along a large wall. You absolutely get your money's worth with this one. An absolute score with Two Thumbs Up!
