Helpful Score: 2
I love to read, and it's been a very long time since I've written a bad review on any book. I'm pretty easy to please, but I don't have a lot of good things to say about this book. I was extremely disappointed.
I guess I could say that it was "well written," but the author did very little to protect her main charater. As a devoted young Catholic wife and mother, I should have identified with her, but I have very little sympathy for a woman who would cheat on her spouse...with a monk, no less (don't get me started on him)! I kept thinking the heroine would do something to redeem herself. But, as I turned the last page, I felt an overwhelming sense that I would never get back the time I spent reading this lousy book.
To be fair, the book is written against a beautiful backdrop, and it certainly is a good scandal. If you're not ethically offended by the storyline you may really enjoy it.
