Title: This novel disappointed me as Molly seems unreal/
Review: To someone who has enjoyed Colony and others by Siddons, this book disappointed although it began well. The character seems sympathetic and strong, but somehow her husband's indiscretion totally destroys her good sense. From someone admirable, she turns into a weak person who uses a friend and wants to lean on others, including a distraught father. The characters of Martha's Vineyard , drawn poorly do not excite interest and the book goes downhill. At points, Siddons does show the inner thoughts of Molly, and that provides some impetus to hope she will wake up.
