Review title: Female empowerment? I don't think so!
Product review: Anne Tyler's Ladder of Years started out with good intentions. I feel that they were lost somewhere along the way. At the end, those intentions were totally out the window. I was given the impression that the character, Delia, was going to be a strong female role model. She was someone who left her unhappy life in pursuit of her own happiness. And I was proud of her when she did eventually leave, though I would have liked her to be more exciting about it! But my pride went away quickly when I realized how wishy-washy she turned out to be. The ending to the novel left a lot to be desired. Much as Jackie from WI stated in a previous post, the ending just left me kind of baffled. What I thought was going to be a good example of a strong female character just ended up being a good example of what a strong female character ISN'T.
