Negative Positive
Title: Not so much...
Review: I purchased this book to read for a book club I have recently joined. In the beginning, I wondered about the characters, but soon grew bored of the relationships. The "waiting" that Lin experienced was cowardly and did not gather any sympathy from this reader. Manna's love and willingness to "wait" grew to be a pathetic desire for a union that was not based on real feelings. I thought the rape scene was extremely graphic and unnecessary use of language...to the point of almost not finishing the novel. I did finish it, against my better judgement, only to be continually disappointed. I am looking forward to hearing from the other members of the book club...
