Title: This book is a mess!
Review: I loved reading this book, but kept waiting for something wonderful, as promised by the blurbs on the back.Instead, I got a conceited mess, nothing but a practice exercise by a creative writing instructor with time on his hands.Where is the conflict? Some of it starts half way through, but it never delivers in either threat or release.Yes, I liked the character of Elphalba, but, um, WHY does she have an affair with that guy? and WHY exactly does she feel the need to be forgiven? Her character has no development, but rather changes with new section.I feel ripped off, and it is shameful that writers like this get to ride the coattails of great writers like Rowling.
