Title: Brilliant writing style, but dry predictable plot
Review: Ms. Hamilton's amazing ability to turn a phrase and weave eloquent prose is the only thing that saved this novel. The plot is highly predictable and I never developed any real affinity for either of the narrating characters. The Alice character is quite possibly psychotic and I did not feel the sympathy for her that I believe was intented. I was never entirely convinced that she was not guilty of the crime of which she was accused.
