What was the point of this book?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Goodness (Paperback)
What a disappointment after a moving beginning! We meet Cora, who discovers she has breast cancer; I liked her and I cared about what was happening to her. Then one by one we meet her friends in a section devoted to each speaking of both the present and the past, interweaving the life experiences shared by these women and men. I found the shift in time spans distracting and sometimes confusing. But my biggest problem with this book was the characters! I actively disliked them and wondered how on earth these women formed any bonds, much less ones that lasted decades. What was the "goodness" of the title? their friendship, their lives, their protests? I don't know. At the end of the book I still wondered what point the author was trying to make.
