Romanzo anni '50, con storia anni '50 e stile anni '50. Romanzo femminile, per un pubblico femminile, senza ALCUN colpo di scena e senza scatti di fantasia. Non succede niente se non quello che deve succedere. Troppo lungo, ridondante nelle descrizioni che comunque non rendono molto l'idea dell'America anni '50. ( )
