"It's three interwoven stories, about like three different characters that of course, in the end they all end up crossing paths. One is a woman whose marriage has sort of come to this, up again this wall where either her husband is entering a depression or something's going on. And she's given this fantastic job offer, but it's really far away from Manhattan. It's New Mexico. And she goes back and forth in her mind should she take it or not, and eventually just decides I'll take it and then I'll convince my husband to follow me, which he never does. So, it gets complicated. I loved the way the way the author, Julia Glass penetrates people's thoughts and not just the flashbacks, but what they're thinking, their doubts, their fears even as they're doing something that they shouldn't be. And it's very believable. I really identified with that dilemma of should I work more or less? I am a part-time working mom. I always have been. And this woman, you know takes on a really lucrative job but it's very full-time. It's more than full-time. And anyone who's ever struggled with that decision, of how much should I work, is it detrimental to my kids or not? That you can identify with that for sure. I would give "All the World Over" five stars, just as I gave her first novel."
