Title: A Good Effort that Needs to be Measured on its own Terms
Product review: This is one of those books that often gets panned by those who approach it with unrealistic expectations. While the characters are believable and well-developed, the book is primarily about relationships, not a Pulitzer-level story. However, the writing is beautiful, the plot quite engaging, and the mystery sufficiently plausible to keep you thinking. You'll be wondering about various scenarios for Ruth's drowning well into the book. Aside from the story, the time-setting is most interesting, as is the relationship between the sisters. Once you get into it, you'll have a hard time putting it down.
