Title: Does she think she's Pat Conroy?
Review: The single most disappointing book of 2005. I was eager to read this book as I had truly loved The Secret Life of Bees. Immediately I was reminded of Prince of Tides...only crossed with The Thorn Birds, with a little Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood thrown in...and then watered down considerably. Yes, her descriptions are lyrical, but the story is told from the viewpoint of a bored and boring housewife...the story is derivative and who really wants to read another book about a bored housewife's affair? If you really want to read this book, do yourself a big favor and check it out from your library.
