(More customer reviews)(*****Minor spoilers*****)
This book is incredibly awkward, and has a plot that is ultimately silly. The main character, Leah, speaks aloud no matter where she is at any given time, and literally addresses the toilet paper in one of the many unnecessary bathroom scenes. The evil husband turns overnight from a charming European to a cardboard villain (killing baby lambs!), and the big "crime" might be more believable if he did not leave convenient written documentation lying around.
Told mostly in flashbacks, this book shows, within 30 pages, the main character losing her first husband, moving to Paris, starting her art career, and being courted by her second husband. In other words, it's quick and perfunctory (there's little mention, and no feeling, of love!), yet so dull that it feels like it took 300 pages. More episodes of her life, including her actual wedding and her children's births, are conveyed through newspaper birth announcements, and that's about how much emotion we get out of it. I only finished this book to find out what the big secret was, and I wish I hadn't bothered.
