...also resists the temptation to moralize. The common humanity of her people reveals itself indirectly, through their power to stir other lonely beings whose disfigurements are merely emotional. Arthur's death after his brief romance with Junie is rather predictable, and the ending is too pat. But Miss Kellogg displays an easy, lightly satirical command of the hospital-medical milieu, as befits a professional therapist (one of her patients was the late Carson McCullers).

And if the most serious action--the pivotal action--of the plot doesn't work, then the plot as a whole...
