Containing 14 short stories, Elizabeth Berg's Ordinary Life centers on, as the title suggests, ordinary life. Relationships and how people interact are central to each story. The reader gets a glimpse at the characters' thought processes through these first person narratives. For those of you who have read The Pull of the Moon, Martin's response to his wife's trip to "find herself" is included. In another story, Mavis McPherson has locked herself in the bathroom for a week just to get some time to think.
Overall, this compilation of stories did not appeal to me. There isn't action, humor, or adventure just ordinary stories that portray ordinary people.
