  1. I also felt meh about Meet the Newmans. It was overly long, too! I just read a backlist by O’Farrell - the hand that first held mine. It was so good! I haven’t read Land but plan to eventually. I prefer her backlist to her recent books which tend to be deeply historical. Her backlist is moreso set during modern times.
