Title: Boring and pointless
Product review: I got this because I loved two of Tryon's other books--"The Other" and "Harvest Home". The blurb on the back cover made it seem like a suspense tale. What it was was a generic coming of age story set in the 1920s and 1930s. The lady of the title is a mysterious women who lives all by herself in a huge house. She befriends a neighborhood boy and we see the story through his eyes and narration. It started out OK but soon got tedious and dull. The author goes into detail about events that (as far as I could tell) had little to do with the main story. The mystery about the woman is bought up occasionally but most of the book just drags on and on and ON about the kid and his family life and friends. Around the half way point I started just skimming just to get the book done. Then I realized that didn't help--I was STILL bored and could care less so I stopped reading. I don't feel I missed anything. Skip this one.
