I loved reading the book, “The Castâ€, written by a truly gifted new novelist, Amy Blumenfeld. I can’t further embellish the glowing accolades given in the other reviews here. I can, however, favorably compare this compelling fictional book to some previous important literary and cinematic works of art.The structural outline of “The Cast†somewhat parallels that of the captivating 1983 movie “The Big Chillâ€. (written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan). In that film, forty-something former college classmates (played by Glenn Close, William Hurt and others) reunite at the South Carolina seaside home of one of their comrades (Kevin Kline) where conflicts and drama arise from old wounds. At the same time, some hilarious scenes of joy and mirth are woven into the mix. Similarly, in “The Castâ€, we find childhood friends in their forties, re-uniting at the Berkshire mountains’ summer manse of Jordana, one of the core members of a close-knit group of five New Yorkers known as the “Castâ€. Many dramatic happenings occur during this critical and eventful weekend. As in “ The Big Chillâ€, there are some funny, even musical scenes interspersed with the drama.So, the engaging structural premises of“The Big Chill†and “The Cast†are, therefore, very much akin.As for character types, “The Cast†can be compared to another literary work—Mary McCarthy’s early 1960s novel, “The Group†(later adapted into a film directed by Sidney Lumet). “The Group†centers around a group of Depression-era Vassar College girls (played by Candace Bergen, Joan Hackett and others in the film). The fictional work follows their lives after their 1933 graduation from that elite “Seven Sister†school. Similarly, “The Cast†follows the enduring friendships of five Queens, New York students beginning in their teen years. As time proceeds, these bright youngsters earn their way into top, mostly Ivy League schools. Like the upwardly mobile, mostly-WASP women in “The Groupâ€, the Jewish high achievers of “The Cast†struggle to find their way in the world after college. As an added twist, they have to go through catharsis dealing with their original trauma resulting from the childhood cancer experienced by the central character, Becca. New problems arise along the way, and climax at the mountaintop Reunion.Lastly, I found many of Blumenfeld’s crisp and witty observations similar in feeling to those of the acclaimed fiction/screen-writer, Nora Ephron( “When Harry Met Sallyâ€, “Sleepless in Seattleâ€). Like, Ephron, Blumenfeld has an excellent eye for the minutia of everyday life. Additionally, the way she describes smart, young New Yorkers as they struggle through a myriad of life’s challenges, is thought-provoking, exhilirating and tempered by humor.This novel was tremendously engrossing. Though the story related in “The Cast†is unique, it manages to call up memories of my own life. It has served to remind me of the the fun, the struggles and the love I have shared with good friends and family over the decades.
How many times can a person cheat death? Talented author Amy Blumenfeld’s debut novel THE CAST is not only captivating, but also thought-provoking and a page-turner. She explores the traumatic scenario of what happens when one of your besties has cancer, and she is only fifteen. Of course—if you’re a kid, you make her laugh. Becca’s posse, a group of high school freshmen, produced a “Saturday Night Liveâ€-style videotape that would have an enormous impact on her life and theirs for the next twenty-five years. “The Cast†– as they came to be known, decides to commemorate Becca’s silver anniversary of being cancer-free with a weekend spent together. The novel is very Big Chill-ish – the reunion itself is no longer about teen trials and tribulations, but about adults dealing with marital issues, divorce, affairs, parenting, career changes, religious differences, love and loss. The story is skillfully told through cast members’ alternating points of view, and it is seamless. Each character navigates the impact of Becca’s cancer on his and her own life. The one unbreakable weaved through it all is the power of friendship. This is a wonderful book. Blumenfeld has a gift for compelling character development, handling the deep issue of childhood trauma and the adults born out of it with sensitivity, humor, and spot-on nuance.
I very much enjoyed Amy Blumenfeld's moving novel about a woman's experience with cancer and the effect it has on her circle of friends and family. The book centers on a weekend in the Berkshires that challenges the protagonist Becca and the five friends who have come together to celebrate her life. The daunting subject of cancer is treated with compassion and, at times, humor. The technique of using each character's point of view in separate chapters is skillfully handled. Becca's relationships with her husband and friends are complex and compelling. This is an excellent first novel and it deserves a wide readership.
I have to admit that I'm a sucker for the "getting the band back together" genre of books and this one delivers. I love the "cast" of characters. Each one is interesting and real with unique challenges to face during the course of the story. Blumenfeld's writing brought me right in to the the lives of the cast and the touches of humor kept the story from getting bogged down during the tragic moments. I really enjoyed this debit novel and I look forward to more from Blumenfeld.
I really enjoyed this book. Each chapter is written in the first person for each of the main characters. I found that a little tricky at first but on the whole it worked really well. The characters are interesting and believable if not a little quirky at times! I also loved that one of the couples were devoted ultra orthordox jews and it was so interesting to see how that looks for someone in their day to day life. I also liked the way that their friends simply respected and supported their decisions, and it was no big deal.A lovely read that it happy, sad and enjoyable.
I found myself reading this book not by accident, but because an unexpected recommendation.Oh, what a wonderful journey!The story runs smoothly taking residence in every one of the characters perspective, one at the time. The author's beautiful talent brings light over different cultural and religious beliefs to the readers not familiar with them. It's a reading full of wisdom.I loved the characters full of love and perspective, but human flaws as well. They are quite the cast!And the author surprised me by introducing subtly one of the character's insights, one I try to remember in my own personal life.The story is absolutely well constructed, full of knowledge and drives the reader to an entirely new scenario with ease.It's one of the stories that will remain in my heart.Thank you to the author for that!
