Review title: uninspired writing
Product review: After starting two times to read this book I managed to get through it all, just! I find it hard to believe the same author that penned the remarkable, "Thorn Birds", also wrote this tedious and dreary novel. Although the Historical content of "The Touch" is interesting (although rather long winded) and seems accurate, the character development is flawed. None of the characters are very likable, and all seem rather inconsistent. The author gives us no real reason to understand why they do the things they do. In fact, many of the characters and their personalities are just plain unbelievable. I don't think the characters fit very well into the time period that Mrs. Mccullough has written about. I found this book very unsatisfying, and it was a real trial to finish it. Without giving anything away, the ending was very disappointing, and did not seem in character.
