Title: Shocking, Ms. Jordan!
Product review: The three troubled heroines in this overlong novel go through relationship problems which are probably not unknown to many female readers. Alas, for about 500 of the 538 pages, the heroines suffer from near-constant shock. The verbally abusive husband misbehaves (every day), and the heroine is shocked (and trembles). There are misunderstandings, and the heroine is shocked. A chance encounter, and the heroine is shocked. Etc. etc. The word "shock" in all its grammatical permutations on average comes up at least once on every single page. Less than halfway through the book, I found myself no longer caring for the whimpy heroines and instead just sarcastically anticipated when the next "shock" would come along. I'd say give this one a miss!
