Title: Unfortuately, disappointing
Product review: Having read Plantation, I was looking forward to this book, but I have to say I agree with the reader from Charlottesville. This story is largely unbelievable, mostly because the author didn't develop her characters enough. What was the point of Grandmother Violet even being in the book? She was supposed to be a real b----, but I only got the sense of a cardboard figure.And Lucy, who is portrayed as a real ditz, conveniently enough has sold a bundle of stock right before the market dropped (!). Huh?! And just loans a boodle to Anna, the narrator, so she can open up a salon. That just strained credulity for me.It's a rapid read, and I read the whole thing, but there is just too much deus ex machina. I liked the narrator, Anna Abbott; I just wish the characters were more developed and the plot less fantastic.
