This book talks about obsession in love, to the point of destruction. It address the taboo subject of domestic violence in the world of “mind your own business.” It addresses seeing and doing nothing. Of pretending what we do not wish to see really isn’t there; for victim, abuser, and bystander. Especially when it comes to the ones we love. I hated Hollis. I hated March for not being able to wake up to what is happening to her, her daughter, her life. But, that is the reality for so many people who suffer from domestic abuse. Alice Hoffman does a heartbreaking, raw, and horribly accurate job of portraying what domestic violence is capable of inflicting in both it’s physical and mental capacities. It isn’t pretty and I put this book down many times because it was too hard, too ugly, too aggravating, and I too unwilling to see what was playing out. March got away, but not without suffering and not without cost. Not everyone has the chance to get away. Not everyone can. We as people see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe. Whether or not those things are true is another story. Books like this one demonstrate that reality in a brutal way. I'm giving this book a 4 because even though I just liked it - it has stuck with me. I'm so glad to learn about Alice Hoffman and I am excited to read more from her. I almost stopped reading this book from some of the other Goodreads comments but I think the haters misunderstood what the book was about. More than affairs of the heart and adultery I think this book was about abuse and regrets. I think there are many more instances of real abuse where the abuser has unseemly power over the victim where everything ends badly. The ending of this story was perfect and just. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

My biggest pet peeve with a book and its plot, is when an author throws in tiny side stories or mentions things that never get resolved or finished.
To put it simply, it's like watching a train-wreck and not being able to look away because it's THAT bad and you want to watch until they clear the scene.
In all honesty, the book had it's tiny moments of glory, but overall it was too cliché, and I felt like the narrator should be someone from Savannah, Georgia; what with all of the "Why, this blah blah" & "why, that blah blah"
I dont know...if you're desperate for something to read and aren't picky about it, then this is for you. ( )
