My Reviews

Scarlet Feather by Maeve Binchy
 
Slow, Boring, Pointless
Scarlet Feather

Huge cast of characters with no depth of character except maybe a set of twins. Felt like every sentence could and should have been edited, My first and last Binchey book. I had to stop reading after 100 plus pages

Light Shed Light

The Light Between Oceans sheds light on many human problems. One just in the news today was how adopting parents find their role so difficult that they are ready to give up their long sought after child after a few months of parenthood. There are many issues in this book that promote deep thought and great discussion.
