Within Arm’s Reach PDF by Ann Napolitano is a compelling family drama revolving about the large McLaughlin clan of New Jersey. The story is told from the points of view of 5 family members and a nonrelated woman.
The novel touches upon many themes, including the loss of connectivity, sexuality and its meaning for different people, the messiness of love, pregnancy out of wedlock, guilt, shame, sibling rivalry, long held grudges, tradition, mental illness, the art of settling, and the huge challenge of holding a family together, which really is the most important thing of all.
The characters so well-drawn. I thought about the characters and their situations when I was away from the book and couldn’t wait to get back to them. Ms. Napolitano is a wonderful writer with whom I have strongly connected during the reading of three of her books.
Maybe Within Arm’s Reach is not as polished as Hello Beautiful or as gripping as Dear Edward, but there was enough family drama to keep me riveted and musing on how I would handle the myriad of situations that came up. I admit it—I am a big, big family drama fan.
