The perspective and tense of Benedict's work illustrates a tremendous sense of craft. It is so intimate. The recurring use of "she would say," instead of distancing the reader as one might expect, somehow manages to pull the reader closer. Lovely.
"I love you to distraction." So true and beautifully put. As a Type A, former neat-freak with two kids, full time job, perpetual distraction, and less-than-neat living quarters (and loving it all), I did not think this was possible. But it is when you're a mom who loves your kids.
