Title: Just too sad, and, sadly, real
Product review: OK, I admit it, I've never read Mrs. Dalloway, and don't recall that I've ever read any V.Woolf. I'm sure there are many people who go through many days the way these three sad, beautiful women do, and I guess it's a testament to Mr. Cunningham's writing that he could show me this desolation, but it was hard work to keep picking up this book and live through this day with them. At times I thought the writing was just too self-conscious, too ornate; it distracted me from the story. Perhaps I'm just one of those meat-n-potatoes readers who likes story over style.I did like the ending; gullible me, I was surprised. I gave it two stars instead of three to avoid being wishy-washy, and I give myself five for making it through to the end of the book! I would not recommend it to the depressed, or to anyone suffering from post-partum blues!
