Review title: Terribly disappointing, few redeeming qualities.
Product review: From beginning to when I could no longer bear to read any further (right after Dirk's death), this book was contrived and had no redeeming qualities. As a preliminary matter, the main character (Ariel) had no redeeming qualities--from her willful ignorance of the surrounding world, to her pathetic and also contrived frailty, she made me wince. The plot itself jumped from topic to topic with absolutely no plot development (ie the sudden woman in black, the sudden Dirk obsession with Ariel at the beginning leading to a sudden marriage). The entire work is counterintuitive and quite awful. Do not waste your time...particularly of you are a woman with an iota of independence--feminism not required for pure disgust.
