Title: Very disappointed
Product review: I was delighted to find this book after reading and thoroughly enjoying "Snow Falling on Cedars". Unfortunately, this book does not come close. There is a recurrent theme of raunchy sexual thoughts that permiate the book and add nothing to the story. A suggestion or a thought from one of the characters perhaps but we are continually bombarded by the lustful ... thoughts of the priest and the raunchy thoughts of another main character. Too much and unnecessary as were the continuous references to Anne's period and allergy problems.I was also disappointed in the ending, felt it could have been so much better. Instead of uplifting it was depressing and unsatisfying. Hopefully Mr. Guterson has another good book in him - this isn't it.
