Negative Positive
Title: Satisfyingly good
Review: Readers looking for a lively heoroine and a romance with a happy ending will be disappointed, but readers willing to let the story unfold will be rewarded. Yes, the man in question is a thorough-going dog, but the real story here is how Norma (the younger, troubled, unbeautiful sister), rescues her life from a disastrous childhood and adolescence. The settings (Depression era Canada, post-war New York) are rich in atmosphere, and Norma's gradual discovery of her artistic abilities held me all the way.
