Title: Trite
Product review: I thought this was going to be a really interesting read, along the lines of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". In the initial pages, it showed promise, what with the account of Lily's mother's death, Lily's monster of a father (T. Ray) and so on. But my interest quickly dwindled. I got really tired of the Black Madonna; she seems to be central to the story, but the Boatwrights' (and eventually Lily's) cultish devotion to her is just annoying after a while. You wish that Kidd would go back to telling the story and stop bringing up the Virgin Mary all over the place.
