Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is bad. Why follow up with characters that had no redeeming features in the first place? There was no need. Moreover, it works against the simple understated style that leaves the audience filling in certain gaps for themselves. Further, the author is trying to get cute with us - it isn't enough to re-hash old stories, she feels compelled to refer to her other characters as well (like Claire from In a Country of Mothers). This story left me empty and annoyed that I'd spent the money. A major disappointment from an author who usually provides compelling, thought provoking stories delivered through good writing.
