Negative Positive
Title: Irritating
Review: At first I loved this story of an editor at a vanity publishing house as she wends her way through the deceptive and demeaning relationships with her authors, and specifically with one, who quickly (and foolishly, in my opinion) becomes her lover. But I soon became impatient with the characters and endless obsessing, condescension and duplicity. Despite her good writing style, McDermott's novels leave me with an unpleasant taste for her characters..
