Title: Ugh
Review: "A Bigamist's Daughter" is the only book I've read this year that I really didn't like. I absolutely despise the narrator, a shallow, vacuous twit who does not resemble me nor most women I know. (Horrid to think any man would take her for a representative of the female sex.)The plot is interesting, if not engaging, but the ending rings false and is terribly disappointing. Also, I found McDermott's description to be cruel in several places.Readers looking for good contemporary female writers should skip McDermott and instead try Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Barbara Kingsolver or Katherine Weber.
