What's odd about this book is how good it is and then how it gives way--inexplicably--to laxity. This happens both at the level of the sentence and of the plot. It's mostly riveting and odd but then...it's...briefly but deflatingly cheesy. The redemption or resolution at the end is at best unconvincing and at worst opportunistic. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

'You hear something like that and it walks out the door with you.'"â??Michael Ondaatje Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I'd read Hunt's NEVERHOME, and really liked it. In this book, a young woman becomes the wife of her mother's second cousin, on a pig farm in Kentucky where she finds the promises of a big manor home far from reality and where the two servant girls eventually take her into captivity. But all of this is only eventually understood through varying and different accounts.
You might want to take a peek preview before you decide to read. I liked it. I didn't love it. ( )
