Title: Not a very intellectual read
Product review: This book, although it has somehow managed to receive rave reviews, is one of the worst novels I have ever read. The lack of intelligent issues and/or depth of thought is astounding. Wright's use of the female voice as well as his attempt to go back to the year 1945 while keeping the thoughtful reader even vaguely interested has failed. Were Wright to have written from his own patriarchal, present-day perspective, his attempt at writing an engaging, intelligent novel would most likely have been more successful. For those who enjoy shallow, easy-to-follow books, this one is for you! Otherwise, read something by Timothy Findley (if you want an engaging Canadian author)!
