I thought this book was really lovely and moving. It does lack a strong plot, but that did not bother me as much as it bothered some other commenters. I thought the characters were very well-developed and I don't agree that the bits about Vietnam and Iraq were tangential to the theme; I thought that they were effectively used to portray both the passing of time and the way that views and perspective shift or remain the same over time.

Though the book is titled When Madeline was Young, the story really is the observation/history of the Maciver family over years as narrated by the son of Madeline’s husband Aaron. It begins when Aaron Maciver’s young wife, Madeline, suffers a head injury in a bicycle crash and she is left with the mental capacity of a six-year-old. In a strange twist, Aaron and his second wife Julia care for Madeline, as they raise two children of their own—creating a very different non-traditional family. The story moves (both back and forth) from Mac’s childhood growing up with Madeline and his cousin Buddy in Wisconsin through the Vietnam War, through Mac years as a husband with children of his own, and through Buddy’s involvement with the Gulf Wars. I found the concept of this book interesting, though I wasn’t completely enthralled with the characters, particularly Madeline (who seemed to be incredibly superficial—especially prior to her accident). I also was disappointed that we didn’t receive much insight as to why certain decisions were made—particularly why Julia and Aaron agreed to “raise” Madeline. 3 out of 5 stars. ( )

Joplin Library Book Club selection for Oct. 2010. I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to me that a female author used a male character as the narrator. I thought she did that very well. ( )

It was okay but really didn't seem to have much point, lacked focus. Set in fifties and sixties to the present with politics interwoven. A story more about many things; war, head trauma, disabilities, family life, coming of age. It has a very good description of what it is like to experience the loss of mother. ( )
