I loved this book. That is all. ( )
This book as far as I can see- went absulutely nowhere. Jane Hamilton's writing is positively irritating. You have no idea how hard I tried to actually care about any of her character. They just were not believable . And she- Jane Hamilton keeps going on and on and on and on. Somewhere around page 200 I finally detected a hint- a vague HINT of a PLOT- but hell- she's got no time for anything that mundane. OHH NO-her characters are so shallow and her writing is so superficial and yet she goes on.... and on... and on. By thetime I got to the end I truly felt like a record needle that slides right across the record because in this case there ain't nothing very good to listen to. BORING. PRETENTIOUS< and RUN AT THE MOUTH. and so it goes. Judy Mann
