Title: "Plain" doesn't begin to describe it
Review: I admit, this is my first Belva Plain book and possibly my last, but since a good friend loaned it to me, I gave it a try. The storyline on the cover didn't appeal to me, bigotry and hate divided two families. Okay. The characters seem shallow and confused in their own lives and then pass that confusion on. Tom is a boy so dedicated to his younger brother Timmy and his girlfriend Robbie, but only bends to his mother's wishes out of sympathy and pity for her. His father is a domineering man who pushes Tom to follow in the beliefs of his dad while belittleing his mother. The Crawfields seem like good people and they seem like the most honest characters in the book.Overall, not a book I'd recommend.
