Relation Supposing Books Somebody Else's Daughter

Two young drifters, Nate and Cat, are forced by stress and circumstance to give up their infant daughter Willa for adoption. For seventeen years, Willa has lived in elegant prosperity with Joe and Candace Golding, her adoptive parents, in the Massachusetts Berkshires, where she attends the elite, private Pioneer School. But the Goldings have fled a mysterious past, and when a cleaned-up Nate arrives at Pioneer to teach English, the well-varnished façade of an idyllic small town begins to crack.

Somebody Else's daughter is a collision between two fathers, biological and adoptive; a woman artist whose independence and unconventionality have led her to the dead ends of life and love; "pillars of the community" who are not what they seem; and a villain whose intentions slowly unfold with the help-witting and unwitting- of all those around him.
Brundage, the author of The Doctor's Wife, has given us another electric, suspenseful tale of conflicted characters and the fractured landscape of the American psyche.

Appraise Of Books Somebody Else's Daughter

The first book in a very, very long time that made me gasp out loud when a character did something I didn't like! The ending was a bit too neat and tidy for my taste, but it was so good overall that I didn't mind all that much really...

Somebody Else's Daughter by Elizabeth BrundageThis was a five star read for me. I reviewed "All Things Cease to Appear" a couple of months ago and am going to change that rating from four stars to five. Elizabeth Brundage is a graduate of the prestigious Iowa's Writers Program and her writing reflects it. The Program in Creative Writing is more commonly called Iowa Writers' Workshop and is a highly celebrated graduate level creative writing. Wallace Steger, John Cheever and Jane Smiley are all

Boy oh boy these characters have hidden secrets. Just about all of them & more than I expected.

Im not sure where to start. This is really Nate, Catherine and Willas story. Nate and Catherine give Willa up for adoption at the beginning of the book and we quicly jump forward sixteen years.Nate is no longer addicted to drugs and has taken control of his life. He accepts a teaching job at Willas high school to learn a little about her. He wants to see her but he doesn't want her to know who he is. We learn bits and pieces of the characters as the book progresses (I mentioned this on twitter

Every once in a while you come across a book that stands out from the bulk of what youve been reading. That was the case for me with Elizabeth Brundages Somebody Elses Daughter (Viking, 2008).What makes Brundages novel so remarkable? Several things, including how she structures the novel, the complexity of the plot, the depth of the characters, the world she created, and her handling of controversial topics.Somebody Elses Daughter is told through the perspective of seven or eight characters. The

338 pages and this book really didnt even have a plot. What could have been a great novel about a father moving to the same town as his adopted daughter was instead a complicated weaving of irrelevant events in various characters lives that all lead up to a pretty lame ending. Took this from an Air BnB library and really regret it.

Good storyline, good plot but very graphic and perverse. I think the author could have told the same story without so much violence and sex. I came close to throwing this book away but I stuck it out hoping it would improve which it did a little. That said my favorite part of the book is when they play prison poker. This could be made into a movie but it would have to be toned down quite a bit.
