Title: An unsatisfactory & inadequate effort
Review: I did not enjoy this book nearly as much as I expected to. I thought the characters were unrealistic & behaved improbably throughout.While there is a certain suspension of disbelief that a reader engages in while reading fiction, this book went far beyond these limits. For instance, the protagonist, Callista, dislikes the telephone because she prefers to spend time gardening, yet allows her sister to repeatedly insist she answer & return calls when she doesn't want to; the casual way she ignores being locked in the shed is also extremely unrealistic, as is the loss of the straight razor which she left in the seat of an unlocked car. The gardening information was excellent & interesting, but the story itself disappointing.
