I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

 They May Not Mean To, But They DoThey May Not Mean To, But They Do by Cathleen Schine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes a book comes along just when I need it. I heard an interview with the author on a local public radio station and I immediately requested it from my local library.

This is not a comfortable book and it does not follow a common narrative plotline that shows a clear resolution. It is more character description of the frail elderly and some conflicts with well-meaning adult children who truly do not understand how we fail their expectations.
