Title: Ouch.
Product review: I read voraciously, and was prepared to devour this novel, but it is painful in the extreme. Tedious, overwrought...was it edited at all? It is as if Jane Smiley wrote an autobiographical stream of consciousness and then had it printed. SKIP IT. Wish I could get a refund.
