Title: Old hat in more ways than one...
Review: For some reason, I'm drawn to Belva Plain's books. Probably for the beautiful illustrations on the covers of her books, and also for the plain, simply drawn characters. Unfortunately, I find the language to be outdated and not colloquial enough. You don't hear the verb "shall" too often. Also, the characters of all her books are pretty much the same. They have a crisis, they get through it, everyone meets a new mate immediately with whom they fall madly in love. I don't buy it, and believe me, I don't. I'll borrow it from the library first
