Review title: Utterly disappointing
Product review: Ugh. I had high hopes as I plunged into the first Nora Jane story, "The Blue House", being initially charmed by adolescent NJ and her Good (capital G) grandmother-- but the magic quickly dissipated. The review by Marron of Boston was spot on. The characters are too flat to capture our empathy. The conflicts are contrived and feel stuck on to the story rather than part of any engaging weave. Loose ends irritate. Freddie, the rich and always perfect husband, is less than a caricature to the point where I could care less when he contracted cancer. I sense that the author has skills that were unfortunately not employed here.
