Negative Positive
Title: Boring, incestous, masochistic Gone with the Wind
Review: I read Philipa Gregory's "Virgin Lover" and enjoyed the pseudo-historical writing so purchased the Wideacre trilogy. I was extremely disappointed by the mentally disturbed heroine who whips her brother, fobs off their offspring into other members of the family and proceeds to single-handedly bankrupt the whole estate in a time when women were delegated to housekeeping roles. A little reality, please!!! I finished the book by reading only one or two sentences per superfluously verbose page, since unfortunately I was on vacation with little access to other reading material. I promptly bought the other trilogy books to the used book store without even opening.
Is the review positive or negative?
