Re: The Women. The subject matter appeals to me greatly, but I will sheepishly admit that I got nervous when I heard an NPR reviewer state that the book is written in reverse chronology. This causes me a slight sigh, because 1) it's been done before (Pinter, Sondheim, Christopher Nolan) and 2) it's a technique that usually gives me a headache. Totally my own shortcoming, I confess. So, I'll wait for everyone else's reviews.
