Review title: Vinegar Hill; Sour title, sour book
Product review: I could not recommend this book to anyone and it baffles me that it has received such enthusiastic reviews. I felt no regard for any of the characters, least of all the main character, Ellen Grier. The other's had no redeeming qualities to speak of. I continued reading until the end, hoping that Ellen would drum up the courage to leave that wretched home. She ultimately made her decision but it came in the last two sentences of the book. It seems that the author had written all the horrible anecdotes she could think of so she decided to end the story just as soon as she let the readers know that Ellen would make up her mind. The end was abrupt and it left me feeling as though I wasted far too much time reading it. Life is short and there are so many wonderful books worth reading. Don't use up the time on this one.
