Yesterday, while pleading for more advice on my Mother's Group project, one of my followers
Mary J suggested I do a one-chapter-per-family kind of thing, and told me about a book called
The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. So I looked it up for inspiration and it sounds AMAZING. It's set in a newspaper office and follows the stories of each staff member from the editor in chief down to the lowly copy editor and each person's story is told in one chapter, which all interweave with each other and come to an end with a "firecracker of discovery".
The review is in the
New York Times... read it!
