M M THE THE EL EL EL EL EL EL EL EL[[[[2006]
Close to Mameve Medwed's new novel, the narrator Abby asks, "Can you meet someone?"
This is a special gentleman problem for her - in her life, so far, countless people should know that they should know who they think they are. One after another confuses her; many of the movements are due to Abby's inability to see what people really want, the factors that really motivate them, and what makes them open and close. It is pure to her, if you are willing to be naive, this is part of the responsibility, but after reflection, we found that this also involves the simple fact that each of us often has different parts of life. Make a unique spin and we have to adapt to this trait of others, just as they have to adapt to us. For example, Abby tells us that a good feature of one of her relationships is that the lover can "attack the shackles in the silver drawer" [!]. This is a sign of a truly insightful writer that introduces a special trait that is completely original but immediately credible. I am sure that many readers will realize the maturity and adulthood of their lives while reading Abby.
The author of a novel like this - on the basis of it is really a love story - appealing to schmaltz or sentimentality, but Medwed has never done this, it would be very tempting. Readers forever from

Abby mistakenly judges people and things, makes mistakes, and sees a limited point of view; but in the course of the story, she gains a lot of wisdom. When we traveled with her, it was almost like watching a closed flower bud open and blossoming into a beautiful flower. A big part of her charm is that she is not innocent or innocent, just something. For example, in terms of culture, she has adapted older, more classic things like ee cummings and modern products, such as the artist popping up a six hundred square foot Bubble Wrap and from

This is a woman who has laid the foundation outside the larger world.
Her small part is Cambridge, Massachusetts. Abby is a native of Cambridge, and her lifestyle is called "Harvard stuff." She likes and hates it. When we met her, she experienced some changes - breaking up, mother and friend died in the earthquake in India, her father married one of his graduate students [named Kiki] and moved shortly after his wife left, he arrived. California. She lives in the image of an antique dealer, in a stall called an object of desire. On a slow Monday, her university Gus noticed a potty on Abby's booth; he thought it might be valuable and encouraged her to participate in a TV show trial. from
Antique road show. from
When it turned out that this pot used to belong to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she did and was selected to participate in the program. From this point on, fun begins. Abby's University Gus found this pot scene at her booth containing an ironic irony. Knowing that Abby was frustrated with her recent betrayal and departure from her lover Clyde, he commented that "the one who didn't know the priceless object when he saw it" said Abi was invaluable. However, this exact observation could have been applied to Abby himself, because Elizabeth Barrett Browning's pot has been in her family for many years, she doesn't know. As we will see, this is a metaphor, and even if all the signs are under her nose, it will not pick up things about people.
The pot was rated at $75,000, and Abby is well known among collectors because her program has been endlessly repeated on television, so her business has improved. When Abby received a letter from Mr. Snodgrass, a lawyer named Lavinia and Ned's brothers and sisters, the plot became even stronger. Here, background and exposure become very important.
Abby's family and the families of Ned and Lavinia have been friendly for many years. Three people grew up together. At some point, Abby's mother and Henrietta [Ned and Lavinia's mother] became domestic partners. Abby and Ned cultivated the romance of their destiny, but when Ned wrote a novel, a blatant one, it collapsed. from

This is very insensitive to Abby.
Abby rescued him from his life and was seriously injured. Then he went to New York, where he accepted a professor at Columbia University. At the same time, Lavinia planned a legal plan to get the poet's pot, and basically all the other things, away from Abby, on the grounds that it had more property than her mother, not Abby' Mother! [Lavinia's entire aura is summed up in one sentence; "She is a thinker at a think tank near MIT."] The deposit was set for six weeks; Abby invited another teenage friend, Mary Agnes Finch, to serve as her lawyer. Mary Agnes did not let Abby know her opinion on the case - "I must say that logistics is a nightmare for such a small case -" from

Todd Tucker called and said he wanted to make a story on Abby and the TV booth, her TV shows and works. Abby made another huge misjudgment here, thinking that Todd's temptation to her is real, because in fact, this is only the means he used to get juicy information from her. However, there was a contingency in her encounter with Todd Tucker - in their antique tour, she found another ancient and valuable work that once belonged to King George! Finally, Abby's recent predecessor, Lummox Clyde, contacted her to meet a new apology meeting that Medwed handled very well. It is both harsh and fun.
Ned and Abby reconsidered and reconciled because he had to travel to Cambridge for deposition. Not without price, but with their reconciliation, which means they will live happily forever. In the end, Abby can see many things now. She used to be completely lacking in clarity and clarity.
This is a novel about something different - relationships, memories, relationships between the past and the present, trust, wisdom gained through experience, and lasting relationships that last or not support friends and lovers. It also has a primary focus on the value of the object, and why human animals believe that certain artifacts have enormous monetary value. These are all questions that the author or person directly raised in the novel, especially I want to see the relationship between Abby and others in a flash. However, there is another theme that has not really been explicitly discussed. This is what you can call a major event in people's lives. No one here seems to have a reliable, quiet, ordinary existence - people are dying in the earthquake on the other side of the world, their first novel was published by the New York Big Press [and was generally eliminated], and his wife went to forty years old. When La Jolla was young, he brought their lifelong friends to court and accidentally discovered property that was very rare for centuries. They are involved in special situations that most of us can't imagine. Large-scale expansion activities reflect the inner feelings.
At the beginning of the novel, Abby took the Boston subway to the TV studio and tried to bring the elevator in the conference room to the stairs. A young man offered help; she refused the offer and said she could manage it, which is not true. She has been so mistaken by men that she refuses to participate now, even on this wonderful level, as if condemning the help of young people to all men: "I don't need you." She and her recent predecessor Clyde explained her gratitude in a live scene. They met and had coffee. He can't do it right - Abby pointed out, "I smell too much cologne. I turned my head." He told her that he was making a make-up trip and apologizing to everyone he was jealous, so he could clean him up. the spirit of. This is a gorgeous new-age spiritual thought and self-improvement technology, and the practice is not correct. Clyde continues to recite a series of things he is sorry about, some of which are:
"If I don't pay half of the rent, I shouldn't move into your apartment. I apologize."
"I should not like your family background, family and family, not me to you. I apologize."
"I shouldn't pretend to leave my credit card at home in the restaurant. I apologize."
It's been coming, some apologies are worse than these. When we laughed at the clown hysterically, we also felt sorry for Abby, sorry for her. from

Doing all these things to her! Her honesty, her honest faith, was betrayed terriblely.
Her nature as a person is also proven in the scene. In the flashback, she tells her young love with Ned and the day he finally finished his novel. from

I think. My heart is inflated.
On the 30th page, my heart has shrunk into a small, hard, cold piece. Joey has become a pain. Like to be shocked.
I have told Ned every little secret, every fear, jealousy and suspicion are uploaded from the page. My troubles with my father; my concerns about my mother; my childhood obsessed with him, and severe criticism of our Cambridge life, our Cambridge friends, General Cambridge, and especially our own Cambridge mother.
Soon after this episode, Todd Tucker's dishonest temptation followed...
