Negative Positive
Title: Rather Boring
Review: I found the plot tiresome. Given that Joanna was treated in an inhuman way by her ex-husband, I don't think I understand why she would enter into a deceptive relationship with the old man only to develop the hots for his son. She was misjudged by Demetri but she brought that about through her own agreement to pose as the old man's mistress. I don't know but there was some lack of tact on her part and that of the old man's when he sought to use the very woman he was trying to protect and help to deceive his family. A woman's honour should not only be protected at all times but should also be seen to be protected. For Joanna to go along with the deceitful plot made her as guilty as the old man in dishonouring the honour of womanhood. I did not like the book because Joanna helped to dishonour womanhood. It is one thing to be misjudged and another to give sufficient reason to cause the misjudgement.
Is the review positive or negative?
