Title: Please ! This is not the south !
Product review: I half way enjoyed this book. I picked it up from the new book shelf in my library just after it hit the bookstores. And just as I thought, many, many readers believe it to be a portrayal of southern women. I have NEVER met anyone like these characters. And I don't think I live a sheltered life. In addition, I read about "Ya, Ya friendship groups" popping up all over the country. Many of these people were "discovering" friendships with women for the first time in their lives. How Sad ! To think this book about drunks, smoking fiends, and (as seen in Little Altars)child abusers, directed women to cherish the other women in their lives; and how bizarre to need a ritualistic club to do it in. Personally, I would rather have experienced more about Sidda's relationship with her boyfriend. He seemed really wonderful ! Who WAS that guy?
