Title: Save your time with this one
Review: I frankly am surprised by the content of this story. I have never read a book that has had such undeveloped, shallow characters and a plot-line that was weak and predictable. I picked this on a recommendation from Oprah's book club, and was very disappointed. The plot was not developed fully and therefore made it very hard to believe why a strong woman would leave her husband to stay with the love of her life and once she has done so, becomes so fragile and weak and subservient. The whole story makes women look bad and men look worse! These characters have absolutely no shred of morality at all: there lives are replete with adultry, incestual longings, and mental and physical abuse. There are better books out there that deal with the subject of abuse in a more mature way. Perhpas Ms. Hoffman ought to read them.
