CHILDREN'S BOOKS; LOVE, AND LEARN TO BEAR IT
She is deeply sensitive to her mother's problems: a wearying job as a children's book editor, frustrated dreams of being a novelist, having to deal with a failing marriage - ''My father is not in such hot shape,'' says [Elizabeth] - and, of course, having to deal with Elizabeth herself. Elizabeth knows what this last has cost her mother. ''There is nothing I can do to make her happy. She loves me. Too much.'' The novel is full of well-developed peripheral characters - lovers, friends, relatives - whose lives Elizabeth probes as she probes her own, always seeing, too clearly for comfort, both sides of every pose and every point of view. And this makes conclusions, the very conclusions she has to have, almost impossible. Her ruminations are studded with maybes and but-then-agains as she leads the reader through an exhausting - for her - thicket of self-examination. But most of us have been there, one way or another. We know she will come out the other side.
