Title: Drowning Ruth
Product review: Poisonwood Bible and Mother of Pearl lulled me into a false sense of optimism and I had my husband buy Drowning Ruth for me. "Oprah's Bookclub" selections usually evoke fear in me. I avoid depressing (she calls them real life) books because most of my early life was lived in a family situation that could be the plot for one her common bookclub choices. I will be much more cautious next time. Drowning Ruth can be described in one word: GRIM!!!!! If you must try it I recommend reserving a library copy. That way you can spend your money on a book that entertains, uplifts, humors or celebrates life. You know, one of those that you just hate to finish!!!
