Title: I'm glad I bought this for 10 cents at a flea market
Product review: I'm only on page 83 and I'm about to ditch the book.It's not engaging. I can't relate to the characters. Their "adventures" are trite. The way they relate to each other is not realistic. If the main character, Sidda, was as badly abused as she implies, there is no reason for her to idolize her mother the way she does. The plot is disjointed, jumping from Sidda's narration to the mother's memories, without any kind of clear transition.Furthermore, the French is just AWFUL. You'd think the author would check with a French speaker before she commits such errors as "Comprendez-vous" or "les petites pauvres" (when she means poor little ones, not little poor people) to print. Or at least the EDITOR should have checked!!!
