I am not a lover of domestic drama, but this book hooked me right away with its unique narrative style in which the 3rd person limited narrator devotes alternating chapters to the father, children and mother. No one is lovable, all are flawed, but we recognize them fully.The writing is terrific: somewhat colloquial and very fresh. The characters are compelling without melodrama, sentimentality or stereotypes. The novel employs a unique structure with the insertion (at a key moment) of a kind of look into the future which serves to both contextualize the story and to further engender the reader's involvement. You think this kind of thing would wreck the reading experience, but it does not. For me, this technique highlights the real randomness of the human experience alongside the real connections between people and their fates. Thornton Wilder, the great playwright did this very successfully in "Our Town" which managed to emphasize both the unique and universal aspects of human experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Don't read Part Two, just skip it *by C***4 on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015* I saw that the professional reviewers said "lucious" and "insightful"... I don't agree with luscious and only partly with insightful. Her writing style mostly just annoys me...she never gets to the point. Her descriptions of the children are the most insightful part of the book, though even that part is slow. I could not empathize with the Deb character at all; any woman that puts up with the mistreatment she put up with from Jack, to me is not interesting or worth reading about. The descriptions of the place settings throughout the book are done well. Why not read Part Two? It tells ahead of time everything that is going to happen for the rest of the book. What possessed her to include that chapter? It ruined the book for me. I won't read another of her books. ### ⭐ I'd take a pass on this one. *by L***B on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2015* I really wanted to like this book. I heard an interview with the author on NPR and immediately downloaded the book. Unfortunately, the writing style was difficult to follow. The author jumped around and seemed to start chapters in the middle of a thought. I also thought it was pretentious to make reference to other literary works without naming them. In this case one of the characters in the book was reading Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, but this author only mentioned the name of the main character of the Fountainhead. I thought it was pretty pretentious to not spell it out. It is not a very widely read book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/33424012-among-the-ten-thousand-things-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/33424012-among-the-ten-thousand-things-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
