Title: A disappointment
Product review: I would agree with the reviewer who found the writing style contrived. Worse than that, I found the book to be misogynistic. I realize it is supposed to be a feminist book, of sorts, but it was far from that. Despite a common thread of bizarre and annoying self-importance, all of the female characters in the book were sexually ambiguous, all were hopelessly tied to a lover of some sort, and seemed to feel little if any control over their own lives.I understand this is a book about three women of separate times, "connected" by their similarities, but the (perhaps unintended) effect was to show women in general as unhappy, hand-wringing, self-involved, and unstable creatures. Virginia Woolf must be turning over in her grave.
