Title: Maybe if I were Catholic...
Product review: Maybe if I were Catholic I would be more sympathetic to this book, but I hope not. The character Allegra, instead of being as a front cover blurb suggests..'a likable, unpretentious protagonist'...is instead a mean spririted woman who snipes and bites at others for no apparent reason other than it's her nature.Instead of being forthright in asking others about her mother's life she sneaks and snivels her way into asking questions and berates even senile little old ladies.The ending is amazing. Allegras final opinion of her mother does not take into account the free will and actions of others involved. God forbid,if there are actually people in the world as small minded as this character.Without doubt, this is one book I wish I had never picked up.
