Title: Don't waste your time
Review: I have three gripes with this book: 1) Its annoyingly self-centered characters for whom you can't muster even a smidge of empathy, let alone sympathy; 2) the melodramatic tone of the modern-day storyline, which is completely unjustified by the humdrum events; and 3) the unnecessarily sordid, pandering climax to the murder mystery that is unrealistic in light of what we have come to know about the characters.I don't say things like this often, but this book is truly not worth reading. If you're wanting an introspective "women's" book that you can really chew on, read "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver or "The Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys.
