\"The<\/a>The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D.<\/em> is a thought-provoking novel about relationships. How well can you know your best friend? Or your husband? Which characteristics or habits are you willing to overlook or fool yourself into believing don’t exist?<\/p>\n

Those are some of\u00c2\u00a0the questions most people don’t explore. Through the journals, Kate discovers Elizabeth’s philosophy that sharing confidences only makes the other person feel worse. It helps explain why Elizabeth never told Kate some of her most private heartaches or why she was really on the plane that crashed.\u00c2\u00a0The journals also help Kate\u00c2\u00a0figure out she needs to move beyond the fear of this new post-9\/11 and\u00c2\u00a0live her life.\u00c2\u00a0No one can plan for every contingency.<\/p>\n

The back and forth between\u00c2\u00a0Elizabeth’s journals and Kate’s life\u00c2\u00a0have the give and take of a conversation. This format was one of my favorite aspects of the novel. It’s not something that was easily pulled off. Bernier\u00c2\u00a0had to put a lot of time into\u00c2\u00a0revisions\u00c2\u00a0to make it flow properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
