I think they could have tried harder.<br /><br />And I couldn't agree more about rushed endings! It's as though the author suddenly realizes that they have to wrap things up as they're running out of pages or something! Very annoying trend!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-42615755827733626812012-02-22T11:59:28.352-06:002012-02-22T11:59:28.352-06:00Very nice review -- even-handed and thorough.

After reading your review, I'm on the fence on whether I want to read this now or not. It does sound like something I would like and I too like the unreliable narrator (think The Lace Reader) so I may give it a whirl if I happen upon it at a library sale or such.

I was also dubious about the fact that the people in Christine's life could have allowed any of this to happen. Too many of the misunderstandings were too convenient. But I still enjoyed the story for the most part.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.com
