Title: Disappointing
Product review: Word of mouth on this book was so strong that I had to pick it up. Having grown up and lived in the South my whole life, I was ready for a really good read. Boy, was I disappointed. The book seems more like disjointed short stories featuring the same characters than anything else. The plot lines veer toward melodrama and stereotype and I found myself reading with growing impatience and annoyance. Bottom line: I do not recommend this book to any of my friends. If you want really good writing about the women of the South, read Ellen Gilchrist.
