classic author during this reading comp. I loved this book. It was complicated and beautifully written. It was about four friends who met young and immediately fell into friendship together. They were young and promising and nothing had happened to them yet. They were in eden. And then things began to happen to them, hard things like polio and losing jobs and nervous breakdowns and they weren't in eden anymore. How they handled their lives as they maneuvered through their pain was different for each character, but the constant was love and friendship. For some there was also a learned gratitude, that they had what they had. There were ideals in this book like staying instead of leaving, like the importance of friendship and love to keep you okay during the tragedies of life. It was about crossing to safety throughout life, whether you are rescued or rescue yourself or rescue each other.
