Title: My first and last Binchy
Review: I picked this book at up at a discount price. Loved the dust jacket and looked forward to reading a novel set in Greece. Thank goodness, I'd be more upset if I paid full price for it.How many times can an author use the word "companionable"? A dozen or so, no kidding. My biggest complaint is her insistance on describing what her charactor's dialogue has already established. If they are having a friendly conversation then you don't have to tell me that they walked/sat companionably or any of the other odd words she was compelled to use. Speaking of dialogue - I found almost every conversation unbelievable and therefore her charactors pretty boring and unlikable. Don't writers have editors any more? I am tempted to take a red pen to it and send it back to her publisher.Maybe if I was 13 I would have liked this book. I will never be able to read another one of her books.
